Introductory programming course focused on programming in Java.

The course covers:

• Primitive datatypes: value domains, operators, expression, declarations and assignments.

• Control structures: conditional selection, repetition.

• Composition of data: arrays, Strings, ArrayLists, Sets.

• Classes: specification, implementation, equality en hashcodes.

• Inheritance: modeling inheritance, type casts, polymorphism, static and dynamic binding.

• Use of libraries (APIs).

• Code quality: best practices, unit testing (with JUnit), debugging strategies.

• Exception handling.

• Generics.

• Basic IO operations (user input / reading / writing).
