Sobre o conteúdo
In this computer science course, you will learn the basics of programming in the Java language, and cover topics relevant to the AP Computer Science A course and exam.
This course will cover:
- classes
- objects and object-oriented design
- fields and visibility
- constructors, mutators and accessor methods
- encapsulation
- interfaces
- the List interface
- method overriding
This course is for anyone interested in taking a first-level computer-programming course, particularly those who attend a school that does not provide a similar class.
No previous programming knowledge is needed, but it is recommended that learners be comfortable with the topics addressed in AP Computer Science A: Java Programming and AP Computer Science A: Java Programming Data Structures and Loops.
We are looking forward to helping you explore this exciting new world!
- classes
- objects and object-oriented design
- fields and visibility
- constructors, mutators and accessor methods
- encapsulation
- interfaces
- the List interface
- method overriding

Criador do conteúdo
A Universidade de Purdue é uma universidade pública localizada em West Lafayette, no condado de Tippecanoe, Indiana, EUA.
Foi fundada em 6 de maio de 1869 e em 2012 tinha mais de 39 000 estudantes. É conhecida como o "Berço dos Astronautas" por ter formado vinte e dois futuros astronautas, incluindo Neil Armstrong e Eugene Cernan. Muitos dos CEOs das 500 empresas da Forbes também se formaram na Universidade de Purdue.
Plataforma
EdX est une plateforme d'apprentissage en ligne (dite FLOT ou MOOC). Elle héberge et met gratuitement à disposition des cours en ligne de niveau universitaire à travers le monde entier. Elle mène également des recherches sur l'apprentissage en ligne et la façon dont les utilisateurs utilisent celle-ci. Elle est à but non lucratif et la plateforme utilise un logiciel open source.
EdX a été fondée par le Massachusetts Institute of Technology et par l'université Harvard en mai 2012. En 2014, environ 50 écoles, associations et organisations internationales offrent ou projettent d'offrir des cours sur EdX. En juillet 2014, elle avait plus de 2,5 millions d'utilisateurs suivant plus de 200 cours en ligne.
Les deux universités américaines qui financent la plateforme ont investi 60 millions USD dans son développement. La plateforme France Université Numérique utilise la technologie openedX, supportée par Google.
