What is programming?

At UOWD, we believe it is important to teach the fundamentals of computer science and more specifically programming to students of all ages. What do we mean by programming? The major learning objective of a programming subject at the introductory level includes understanding how to program a computer using one of the many programming languages in the world, either to solve math and science problems or to create interactive apps, games and experiences. 

The language of choice for introductory level programming subjects is JAVA given its scalability and ease of implementation and deployment on many platforms.

Enquire

Students who have skills in programming will be in very high demand in the future given the major transformation of cities towards smart infrastructures and autonomous systems. Future careers include:

  1. Software developers who are responsible for developing software, mobile apps, games, and management information systems. 
  2. Web developers who work with business clients to develop a working and accessible website. 
  3. Computer systems engineers who are responsible for identifying solutions to complex applications problems, systems administration issues or network concerns. 
  4. Database administrators who are tasked with securing, organizing and troubleshooting storage for large amounts of information for companies online. 
  5. Data analysts who analyze big data collected from social media, and other sources to make predictions that will allow governments and businesses to perform better.

The course will enable you to:

  • Understand computer basics, programs, and operating systems 
  • Describe the relationship between Java and the World Wide Web 
  • Understand the meaning of Java language specification, API, JDK, and IDE 
  • Write a simple/complex Java program and display output on the console 
  • Explain the basic syntax of a Java program 
  • Create, compile, and run Java programs 
  • Use sound Java programming style and document programs properly 
  • Explain the differences between syntax errors, runtime errors, and logic errors 
  • Develop Java programs using NetBeans
