The course will relate the underlying material to current issues in computer science research, including how various concepts are employed in computer science research, and some appreciation of current issues in computer science research.
The following topics will be covered:
• Introduction to Java
Classes, objects, and inheritance
Basic IO and Files
Common collection types and their use, including HashSet, ArrayList, LinkedList, and HashMap
Numbers, Strings, Generics
Recursion
Exceptions
