The Java programming language allows software to be easily exchanged and executed via the Web. Our course helps the students learn the purpose of programming in general and introduces the Java programming language.

The purpose of writing a program is to solve a problem. In general, problem solving consists of multiple steps:

Understanding the problem

Breaking it into manageable pieces

Designing a solution

Considering the alternatives and refining the solution

Implementing the solution

Testing the solution and fixing and problems

This is how we develop software, and we will explore programming techniques that let us elegantly design and implement solutions to problems.
