• Unit 2: Object-Oriented Programming

    Java is an Object-Oriented programming language. Since Object-Oriented programming (OO) is currently one of the most popular programming paradigms, you will need to learn its fundamental concepts in order to build a career in Computer Science. This unit will begin with a discussion of what makes OO programming so unique, and why its advantages have made it the industry-standard paradigm for newly designed programs. We will then discuss the fundamental concepts of OO and relate them back to Java. By the end of this unit, you will have a strong understanding of what Object-Oriented programming is, how it relates to Java, and why it is employed.

    Completing this unit should take you approximately 10 hours.
