General Info

The object-oriented programming paradigm has a strong position in software development. Programs are organised around objects,

which we may manipulate using methods. As an example, we may have an object representing a car, which have methods for driving

forward, stopping, turning and so on. This course teaches the Java programming language, one of the most widely used object-oriented

languages.

The credits for the course is split with 3 credits for labs and 4,5 credits for the exam. To pass the course, all labs must be completed and

passed. The course will be given in English.
