CSIS 113B JAVA Programming - Level 1

Course Description

This course introduces the principles of object-oriented programming using the Java programming language. Students will investigate and evaluate various programming design methodologies and apply them to programming problems in Java. Java features that will be covered include language syntax, class definitions, control structures, function definitions, and basic data structures. No prior programming experience required.

By successfully completing this course you will earn 3 units of college credit.
