Java Programming: Principles of Software Design

Multiple classes can be used to solve real-world problems using Java. Java interfaces allow you to create scaling programming solutions. Software engineering involves more than just writing code. It also requires logical thinking, design and analysis. This course will teach you how to create a program to analyze and sort earthquake data and how to generate predictive text.

You will be able: You will be able to use sorting correctly in solving problems. Create classes that implement the Comparable interface. Analyze empirical performance using timing data; Split problems into multiple classes with different methods. Determine whether a Java API class can be used to solve a specific problem. You can use multiple methods to solve programming problems and you should be able to recognize tradeoffs. When developing programs, use object-oriented concepts such as interfaces and abstract classes; 8. Implementation decisions should be hidden so that they aren't visible to the public. Recognize the limitations inherent in Java programs and algorithms when solving problems. 10. Recognize the standard Java classes and idioms, including exception-handling, static method, java.net and java.io packages.
