This module extends the student's knowledge and skills in object-oriented application programming by a treatment of further Java language principles and of important Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The Java Collections API is explored in some detail with emphasis on how to utilise these classes to best effect. Students will also be introduced to third-party APIs, since an important part of application programming is the process of understanding and using such APIs.
The module will give students core programming skills that are required for Years 2 and 3 of the Computer Science degree schemes.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this module, students will be expected to be able to:
1. Demonstrate a knowledge of core Java application libraries.
2. Explain the event-driven model underlying Java GUIs.
3. Write Java programs with interactive graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
4. Write Java programs that interact with databases.
5. Write Java programs that make efficient use of the Java collections package.
6. Work with the Java Security Manager to create secure program policies.

be necessary to make changes, for example to programmes, modules, facilities or fees. Examples of such reasons might include a change of law or regulatory requirements,
industrial action, lack of demand, departure of key personnel, change in government policy, or withdrawal/reduction of funding. Changes to modules may for example consist
of variations to the content and method of delivery or assessment of modules and other services, to discontinue modules and other services and to merge or combine modules.
The University will endeavour to keep such changes to a minimum, and will also keep students informed appropriately by updating our programme specifications and module directory.
