<p>This unit introduces students to programming constructs of a textual programming language used in the creation of a software system. Students must have demonstrated previous pre-requisite knowledge regarding logical problem solving and basic algorithmic development. Students will be introduced to the use of an integrated development environment (IDE) to develop and edit source code, then compile, debug, test and run a software application. Students will be exposed to principles involved in the engineering/designing and developing of applications for information systems to address requirements using object-oriented and event-driven paradigms. Tools that enable collaborative coding are also utilised.</p>

<p>Students will learn how to code in a current object-oriented programming language. They will learn how to use modern industry-standard software development tools to plan, develop/implement, test and manage software solutions.<br><br>
Topics may include:<br>
1. Appropriate use of data types to store information within a program.<br>
2. Object-oriented programming concepts: encapsulation, polymorphism, inheritance, dynamic binding and abstraction.<br>
3. Code design and modularization using object-oriented approach.<br>
4. Design principles: classes and their relationships.<br>
5. Using object-oriented modelling conceptualize an abstract design for an information system.<br>
6. Using an IDE to edit, compile and debug code.<br>
7. Event-driven Graphical User Interfaces<br>
8. Source code version-control systems such as git.</p>

<p>Students will be required to complete tasks during weekly lab sessions. Many of these labs will require the student to either demonstrate how the code they have written fulfils an objective of the task, or to explain what portions of the code achieve or how a particular concept has been implemented, or to make an on-the-spot alteration requested by the lab tutor.</p>

<p>Students will develop moderate sized multi-class programs possibly requiring demonstration of taught concepts and techniques, to fulfill a set of provided requirements. They may also be asked to demonstrate techniques or attend an assessment interview. They may be required to use a git repository which may provide 'starting' code.</p>
