4. Benefits
By the end of the course students will have learned:
 The basic and object-oriented programming concepts, the Java platform,
 Know how to use constants, variables and various data types.
 Create and use methods, classes and instantiate objects from classes.
 Define blocks and scope of a variable, overload methods and constructors, and work with
constants.
 Draw flowcharts, make decisions by using if ..else and switch statements, use AND, OR,
conditional, and NOT operators, and their order of precedence.
 Manipulate characters and use String methods and the StringBuffer class.
 Declare, initialize an array, declare and create an array of objects, and search an array.
 Define event driven programming and handle events with Swing components.
 Implement inheritance and extend classes, override superclass methods, and use information
hiding and protection.
 Use the JFrame and JPanel class, use the Swing event listeners and Swing components.
 Throw and catch exceptions, specify and handle exceptions, and trace and create your own
exceptions.
 Use the File class and streams; write to and read from a file.
