3. Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to do:
• Analyze how the programming language works
• Explore the basic concepts of Object-oriented programming
• Develop Graphical User Interface
• Demonstrate the concept of Network Fundamentals and Socket Programming, Remote Method,
Thread and HTTP services
• Explain database connectivity techniques and demonstrate the ability to write applications that
solves a real world programming problem
4. Course Description
This course enfolds popular higher-level programming concepts that are beyond the scope of the
introductory Programming courses.
Topics like multithreading, socket programming, object serialization, and Event objects are crucial
components of this course.
Including the above-mentioned advanced programming concepts other important feature of the technologies
like socket and web programming are also discussed.
Basics of high-level programming concepts and threads will be given priority to pave the way for
developing advanced programming skills.
The course then advances to some of the most popular APIs in the language: Remote Method Invocation
(RMI), Database connection and GUI, a specification for developing a software component.

10. Course policies
• You must read the textbook (ahead of and/after) the class.
• Academic dishonesty: Plagiarism is serious offense and might result in course failure.
• Collaboration: On working assignments, you can collaborate with others to understand concepts
but the actual problem should be solved by you organized in your own way.
• Attendance: Students who fail to attend more than 15% of the lecture classes and 5% of the lab
class will not sit for Final Exam.
• Dressing code: You should respect social norms and values.
• Cheating: zero tolerance on cheating exams, serious measures will follow.
• Mobile: Make silent, no chatting.
• Time: Don’t be late; try to arrive 3 min before class. If you arrive after class has started, don’t knock
just go back.
• Classroom: Don’t talk, raise your hand if you have questions
• Participation: Ask questions and respond when asked, even if you don’t know. Say, I don’t know!
• Lab: Practice by your own, don’t copy, one person/PC, but you can share experiences.
• Grading System: As determined by the universities legislation.
