Course Description: This is an introductory course in Java programming. Java programs have uses in business, industry, and Web page design. This course is designed to guide the student in developing applications and applets. The course introduces the student to object-oriented programming concepts along with the Java syntax needed to implement them. This course is one of the required courses in the Computer Programming Languages Certificate Program. The course will help students prepare for a career in computer programming and information services. The course will require students to persevere through challenging problems and manage time to meet deadlines which are both important to everyday life. Three hours lecture, two hours lab.
Corequisites: MAT 120 - College Algebra or MAT 127 - College Algebra and Trigonometry Mode(s) of Instruction: traditional/face-to-face, and/or online
