Object Oriented Programming in Java

This course introduces learners to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) using Java, covering essential concepts such as classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, and interfaces. Students will learn to design and implement Java programs using OOP principles and apply them in a practical project, such as a Library Management System. The course is suitable for learners with basic programming knowledge who want to develop structured, reusable, and maintainable code in Java.

What You'll Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Explain the fundamental concepts and terminology of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java.
Design and implement Java programs using classes, objects, access modifiers, constructors, and encapsulation.
Apply key OOP principles such as inheritance, abstraction, polymorphism, and interfaces to develop reusable and maintainable code.
Develop a simple Java-based application by applying OOP concepts using tools such as Apache NetBeans and executing programs through the Java Virtual Machine.

Prerequisites

To be successful in this course, learners should have a basic understanding of computers and fundamental programming concepts. Students should be familiar with basic programming elements such as variables, data types, operators, conditional statements, and loops. Prior exposure to writing simple programs in Java and understanding how programs are compiled and executed will also be helpful. Additionally, learners should be comfortable using a development environment such as Apache NetBeans and have a basic idea of how the Java Virtual Machine runs Java programs. This background will help students understand Object-Oriented Programming concepts more effectively.
