Module Introduction

Welcome to the exciting world of Java programming. A program is a set of instructions


that can be executed on a computer to accomplish a speci9c task, modern computers
execute sequences of instructions quickly, accurately and reliably. The task of writing new
programs is called programming. This introductory module on programming introduces
the coding journey that lies ahead, starting with “Hello World”.
Java is a general purpose, high-level programming language, an excellent language for
developing cross-platform applications. Java is an object-oriented language similar to
C++, but simpli9ed to eliminate language features that cause common programming
errors. As a cross-platform language Java can run on many types of devices including:
Enterprise Systems;

Personal Computers (Desktop/Laptop);

Tablets and Handheld;

Mobile and Smart phones;

Game Consoles;

Other (TVs/Blu-Ray Disc/Printers/Navigation Systems/Medical Devices/etc.); and

Java also supports web applications, services and development.

Furthermore there are bene9ts that edges Java over its biggest rivalries:

Java is FREE;

Java is everywhere;

Java is fairly simple to learn;

Resources to learn Java programming;

Java is an Object Oriented Programming Language;

Java has rich API (application program interface);

Advanced development tools/IDEs (e.g. Eclipse , Netbeans);

Large pool of open source libraries;

Friendly community support;

Fantastic documentation support;

Java is platform ubiquitous; and

Java has vast array of 3rd party libraries.

You will be encouraged and challenged by your lecturer to solve problems in this module.
There are several exercises at the end of each chapter in the textbook that should be
done to improve your programming skills. Practice is of the utmost importance and you
will bene9t the most by doing all the exercises. You will also be expected to convert
pseudocode into programming language code, as this module is closely tied with the
programming logic and design module. The pace is fast as there is lots of work to cover
in a limited amount of sessions. We hope that you will 9nd this module most enjoyable .
