Objectives
The main objective of the curricular unit is learning the basic concepts of program design and programming in the imperative paradigm, using Java as a language support.
At the end of the curricular unit the students should be able to:
- Analyze and solve problems;
- Know the elements of algorithmic language in order to develop algorithms to solve real problems;
- Know and apply the syntax and semantics of the Java language.
- Develop different forms of data processing.
- Understand the basic concepts of object programming.
- Design and implement projects of an interdisciplinary nature.
- Work as a team.
- To develop small scale applications using the Java language.

Teaching Methods
Lectures - Consisting of exhibitions sections, where the fundamental concepts of programming are presented using examples and demonstrations that illustrate the application of the programming language.
Laboratorial Classes - articulated with the lectures, resorting to exposing and solving practical problems using the programming language.
The unit may also benefit from the use of the Moodle platform, where all materials to support course are available.
