Programming Principles: Encapsulation and Constructors

In this session we look at the public and protected keywords, and the principle of encapsulation. We also look at how Constructors can help you initialise objects, while maintaining the encapsulation principle.

Programming Principles: Loops and Arrays

In this session we look at the different types of loop in the Java language, and see how they can be used to iterate over Arrays.

Programming Principles: Collections and Iterators

In this session we look at how we can use collection objects like ArrayList as a more advanced type of array. We also introduce the idea of generics (forcing a collection to hold a particular type) and see how Java handles the autoboxing and unboxing of primitives. Finally we look at Iterators, a common design pattern for dealing with iteration over a collection.

INFO2009 - Information Networks

Process Lecture to identify sources of information, exchange tips and techniques, update the student wiki and contribute to research activities for courseworks (annotated bibliography, poster, information resource)

Programming Principles: The Java Library

In this session we point you at the Java Library, and go into some more details on how Strings work. We also introduce the HashMap class (a very useful type of collection).

Learning, Teaching and Lesson Planning

This resource was designed for use with MSc Web Scientists as an introduction to a coursework that requires them to produce some teaching materials.

Programming Principles: Testing and Debugging

In this session we look at the sorts of errors that occur in programs, and how we can use different testing and debugging strategies (such as unit testing and inspection) to track them down. We also look at error handling within the program and at how we can use Exceptions to manage errors in a more sophisticated way. These slides are based on Chapter 6 of the Book 'Objects First with BlueJ'
