Software Engineering Foundations - Java Programming
Graduate course, University of West Florida, Department of Computer Science, 2021
A course in the Accelerated Software Engineering Foundations Series in which students will gain a comprehensive understanding of principles/concepts of Java programming and how to apply those principles/concepts in conjunction with principles of software engineering to design and develop object- oriented software systems. Students taking this course should have an understanding of programming language fundamentals including variables, constants, selection, iteration, arrays, and functions or methods.
This course is QM-Certified by Quality Matters.
