These courses introduce students the concept of object-oriented programming.
Topics include basic and advanced features of Java as well as object-oriented design,
such as class and abstract class, interface, inheritance, encapsulation, overloading and
overriding, exception handling, etc. Contact us to obtain detailed syllabus.
This course heavily focuses on Computer Science aspect and application, not just the
semantics of Java Programming. Therefore, it is considered to be more advanced than most
regular “Learning Java Programming” course.
