Skills to be acquired in this module
Object orientation represents the state of the art in software development today. Given problems are first transformed into an object-oriented model and then into an object-oriented program with the help of object-oriented analysis and design methods. Aim of the module "Object-Oriented Modelling and Programming" is to learn basic concepts of object-oriented modelling using UML as the modelling notation and object-oriented programming using the Java programming language. After completing the module, students should be able to independently develop object-oriented programs based on Java for solving medium-sized problems.

Professional competence:
The students:
  • know basic concepts of object-oriented modelling and UML as modelling notation
  • know basic concepts of object-oriented programming with Java
  • know the terminology of object-oriented modelling and programming and use the appropriate terms precisely in discussions
  • can describe what object-oriented programmes presented to them do
  • independently develop models and programmes for solving medium-sized problems
  • systematically examine their own and other people's models and programmes for errors
  • use modern development environments for modelling and developing programmes
  • know the differences between the imperative, object-oriented, functional, logical and rule-based programming paradigms
Methodogical competence:
The students:
  • independently develop programmes for given problems by consistently applying the concepts of object-oriented modelling and programming
  • transfer practical experience in programme development to new tasks
  • independently develop programmes with concurrency
  • can independently apply known solution methods to complex problems
Social competence:
The students:
  • communicate the structure and mode of action of self-developed models and programmes to others
  • present independently developed solutions to groups
Self-competence:
The students:
  • organise themselves when developing programmes for small and medium-sized problems in computer science
  • incorporate the concepts of object-oriented programme design in their actions
Module contents

In the first part, basic concepts of object-oriented modelling and programming are taught:

  • Models and modelling
  • UML class diagrams
  • Classes and objects
  • data encapsulation
  • inheritance
  • Polymorphism and dynamic binding
  • Exception handling
  • Genericity

In the second part, important concepts and classes of the JDK class library are introduced and the classes are used in solving medium-sized problems:

  • Java Collection API
  • IO and Streams
  • GUI applications with JavaFX
  • Parallel programming with threads

In the third part, advanced solution strategies are presented and other programming paradigms are introduced and compared with the object-oriented paradigm:

  • Backtracking, Branch and Bound, Greedy
  • Local Search, Evolutionary Algorithms
  • Functional programming (e.g. Java-Lamdas, Standard ML)
  • Logical programming (e.g. Prolog)
  • Rule-based programming (e.g. Drools)

The lecture part is supplemented by a comprehensive exercise part, in which in particular the taught contents are implemented in practical examples.
