Anti-requisites
Unit aim
This units builds on the object-oriented programming features learned in pre-requisite units by looking at advanced object-oriented concepts and their application in a modern API. By learning a modern API students will learn how to apply the concepts as well as understanding their technical makeup.
Unit content
- Classes
- Inheritance and polymorphism
- Abstract classes and interfaces
- Generics
- Collections and data structures
- JavaFX as a example API using Java features
- Parallel programming
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | use classes, inheritance and polymorphism |
| 2 | use abstract classes and interfaces to build inheritance hierarchies and polymorphic code |
| 3 | use generics as implemented in a data structure/collection framework |
| 4 | interpret and apply advanced object-oriented language features as used in a complex modern API |
| 5 | use parallel programming features as provided by a modern object-oriented language |
