Object Oriented Languages

Classes will be taught under theoretical and practical, in computer rooms. The expository methodology is used for presenting the concepts of the course, supported by practical experimentation by performing exercises applying communicated concepts in computers.

This course has the following objectives:
– Presenting all the fundamental concepts and rules inherent oriented programming paradigm by objects: classes and instances, messages and methods, encapsulation, and inheritance hierarchy, modularity, polymorphism and generic programming;
– Presenting a set of principles and programming methods that allow developing applications targeted by objects (written in Java or any other language in the Object-Oriented), which satisfy important properties of software engineering, such as modularity, extensibility, robustness and generality;
– Introduce the BlueJ IDE, an environment to support the development of Java applications that enables and facilitates incremental development and rapid prototyping applications, allowing to create instances of classes.
