In common with many programming courses, it uses Python as the introductory programming language before going on to use Java as the vehicle for more advanced programming concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe first part, which teaches Python, covers fundamental programming concepts, such as data types and control structures and functions. It introduces more complex data types such as lists and dictionaries and also deals with file handling. It introduces object-oriented concepts and ends with a case study bringing together all the topics of the first semester.  The second part uses Java to teach advanced concepts and centres around object-oriented programming, teaching key object-oriented concepts such as inheritance and polymorphism.  The semester again ends with an advanced case study bringing together all the topics of the second semester.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTopics and features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssumes      no prior knowledge, and makes the transition from Python to Java a smooth      process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures      numerous exercises and also an illustrative case study for each language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Examines      procedural and object-oriented methodologies, as well as design principles  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers      such advanced topics as interfaces and lambda expressions, exceptions and      Collections \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes      a chapter on graphics programming in Python using Tkinter \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces      the latest Java technology for graphical interfaces, JavaFX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains      design concepts using UML notation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eOffering a gentle introduction to the field and assuming no prerequisite background, \u003ci\u003eProgramming in Two Semesters\u003c\/i\u003e is the ideal companion to undergraduate modules in software development or programming.
