WEB DESCRIPTOR
On this module, you will learn about Java, which is one of the most wide-used object-oriented programming languages. As well as improving your ability to design and write object-oriented programs, you will learn about some of Java’s advanced programming concepts such as generics, streams, lambda expressions, concurrency and database usage.
MODULE LEARNING STRATEGIES
Lectures will present new concepts and tutorials will provide opportunity for practical application of these concepts, supported by a tutor.
