| Learning Outcomes: |
Solve introductory programming problems in Java. Break problems into sub-problems, which can then be solved using simple algorithms. Design algorithms using sequence, selection, iteration and recursion. Design simple classes using primitive data types, Strings and arrays. Build object-based programs using class-based decomposition. Write, compile, test, and debug object-based programs using an Interactive Development Environment (IDE). Recognise the software engineering concerns that give rise to the use of classes and other abstraction mechanisms. |

Designing Algorithms Problem Solving (also things like computational thinking) Basic OOP Classes & objects Control Structures & logic (if/else etc) Repitition & loops (for/while etc) Arrays, Lists, dictionaries, vectors, sets Strings IDE use Recursion |
