Contents Fundamentals of computer architectures and programming. Object-oriented programming. Elements of Java programming.
Reference texts Book: E. Di Giacomo, W. Didimo, "Fondamenti di Informatica in Java", Ed. Maggioli. Slides: Additional PDF documentation written by the teacher.
Educational objectives At the end of the course, the students should have acquired: (i) Knowledge on basic concepts on computer architecture, operating systems, and information binary encoding. (ii) Knowledge of the principles and of the basic elements of object-oriented programming. (iii) Ability in designing and writing simple Java programs, correctly using the principles of the object-oriented paradigm.
Prerequisites Students should have basic logic-math skills, acquired in the mathematics courses of high-school.
Teaching methods The course consists of two main kinds of lessons: (i) Lessons in the classroom (70% of total time): consists of lessons in the classroom. In each lesson the teacher illustrates new theoretical concepts, by projecting pre-defined slides, and executes practical exercises. (ii) Practical exercises in the lab (30% of total time): held in the computer science laboratory; they are devoted to the design and implementation of programs, under the supervision of the teacher.
