STTPK2023 Advanced Programming

Synopsis

Builds on the skills learned from basic and intermediate programming courses. In this course, students will go deeper into programming topics that help them to understand more advanced programming concepts. Some of the advanced topics that will be covered in this course include: Exception handling, Collection classes, Functional-style programming with Lambda expressions, Multithreaded programming, File processing and finally, closing off with Database programming.

Course Learning Outcome (CLO):

Upon completion of the course, students are able to:

1. Apply the concepts and features of advanced programming (C3)
2. Analyse the advanced programming concepts and features, and implement them using an object-oriented programming language (C4)
3. Build a complete program by applying the advanced programming concepts to solve a given problem using an object-oriented programming language (P4)
