Learn Object-Oriented Programming using Java
Prerequisites: None
CEUs: 6
Topics: Classes, Objects, instantiation, extending classes, Variables, Static Variables, Static Methods, Arrays, Abstract classes, Interfaces
Price: $398 (Special discounted Price! $278.60)
Description:
In this course, students are introduced to Object Oriented Programming concepts and techniques using Java as a pedagogical tool. Thoughout this course the concepts are learned through programatically and visual through by building Java Applets using the simple Useractive CodeRunner online editor.

In this course, students are exposed to the basic concepts of Java, fundamental syntax, and the thought processes behind true object-oriented programming. Completion of this course gives students the tools and basic knowledge they need to learn more advanced programming techniques.

Unlike other beginning courses in Object Oriented Programming, this course introduces students OOP by building Java applets in the Learning Sandbox. This gives students the chance to experience the concepts visually. Students build their own Applets in the Learning Sandbox from beginning to end. A personal coach will help students through difficulties and provide insight and encouragement throughout.
