Description

This module builds on the foundational programming skills previously acquired in the module Introduction to programming 1, introducing students to file handling, error handling and object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts. Through practical and applied learning, students will develop solutions to real-world problems using OOP principles. The course combines theory with hands-on lab-based activities, offering a balanced approach to deepen understanding. By the end of the module, students will be well-equipped to design robust, maintainable, and efficient software systems.

 

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Explain and apply the key concepts of object oriented programming.

2.

Develop programs that make use of files and collections.

3.

Explain and apply robust programming techniques.

4.

Make use of debugging tools to troubleshoot errors.

5.

Work with Git branches, synching with remote repositories

Teaching and Learning Strategies

Will employ direct instruction, activity based / problem based / thinking based in class learning coupled with independent learning.

Module Assessment Strategies

There will be summative and formative continuous assessment, which will include quizzes and programming exercises.

Summative assessments


Ongoing moodle quizzes incorporating CodeRunner question types

Week3 (5%) Week 6(5%) Week9(5%)


In class programming exercises.

Week 4(10%) Week 7 (15%) Week 10 (20%)

Repeat Assessments

Repeat final exam will be provided.  Students will also be given an opportunity to repeat CA work.

Indicative Syllabus

Explain and apply the key concepts of object oriented programming.

  • What is object oriented programming.
  • How to code a class (fields, properties, methods, constructors, static members)
  • How to overload methods and Constructors.
  • How to pass objects to and from methods.
  • How to work with Inheritance, Interfaces, Polymorphism, Abstract classes.

Develop programs that make use of files and collections.

  • Enumerators, enumerated data types, structs.
  • What are collections
  • How to work with collections.
  • Generics
  • Manipulating collections (e.g. sorting, searching).
  • How to work with files (managing directories, files and paths, how files and streams work, writing and reading to a text file, CSV files).

Explain and apply robust programming techniques.

  • Introduction to exceptions.
  • Structured exception handling (Try-catch-finally blocks, reporting and inspecting exceptions).
  • Introduction to data validation.
  • Common types of validity checking (presence, format, range).
  • Use generic methods to validate an entry.

Make use of debugging tools to trouble short errors.

  • Breakpoints, step into/over/out, conditional breakpoints, diagnostic messaging.
  • Debugging windows.

Work with Git repositories

  • Create and manipulate branches of code
  • Work with online git repositories
  • Sync with remote repositories
