AIM:
To  understand  the  concepts  of  object-oriented,  event  driven,  and  concurrent
programming paradigms and develop skills in using these paradigms using Java.

UNIT I     OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING – FUNDAMENTALS                  9
Review of OOP  - Objects and  classes  in  Java  – defining  classes – methods  - access
specifiers  –  static  members  –  constructors  –  finalize  method  –  Arrays  –  Strings  -
Packages – JavaDoc comments

UNIT II   OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING – INHERITANCE                     10
Inheritance  –  class  hierarchy  –  polymorphism  –  dynamic  binding  –  final  keyword  –
abstract  classes  –  the Object  class  – Reflection  –  interfaces  – object  cloning  –  inner
classes – proxies

UNIT III   EVENT-DRIVEN PROGRAMMING                                   10
Graphics programming – Frame – Components – working with 2D shapes – Using color,
fonts,  and  images  -  Basics  of  event  handling  –  event  handlers  –  adapter  classes  –
actions – mouse events – AWT event hierarchy –  introduction  to Swing – Model-View-
Controller design pattern – buttons – layout management – Swing Components

UNIT IV   GENERIC PROGRAMMING                               8
Motivation for generic programming – generic classes – generic methods – generic code
and virtual machine – inheritance and generics – reflection and generics – exceptions –
exception  hierarchy  –  throwing  and  catching  exceptions  –  Stack  Trace  Elements  -
assertions - logging

UNIT V   CONCURRENT PROGRAMMING                             8
Multi-threaded programming – interrupting threads – thread states – thread properties –
thread synchronization – thread-safe Collections – Executors – synchronizers – threads
and event-driven programming
