Overview

Solve real world problems with Java using multiple classes. Learn how to create programming solutions that scale using Java interfaces. Recognize that software engineering is more than writing code - it also involves logical thinking and design.

Key facts

After completing this Java Programming - Principles of Software Design course offered by Coursera in partnership with Duke University, you will be able to:

Use sorting appropriately in solving problems;
Develop classes that implement the Comparable interface;
Use timing data to analyze empirical performance;
Break problems into multiple classes, each with their own methods;
Determine if a class from the Java API can be used in solving a particular problem;
Implement programming solutions using multiple approaches and recognize tradeoffs;
Use object-oriented concepts including interfaces and abstract classes when developing programmes;
Appropriately hide implementation decisions so they are not visible in public methods; and
Recognize the limitations of algorithms and Java programmes in solving problems.
Recognize standard Java classes and idioms including exception-handling, static methods, java.net, and java.io packages.
