Overview
In this unit, you will learn how to program using an object-oriented programming language. It is assumed that you have little or no programming experience, so you will be guided through the basics of application development using classes and objects. You will learn about the parts of a program, including variables, types, and methods, and learn how to read input and produce output. A key aspect of this unit is practical, hands-on, simple application development and testing, which you will do in an industry-standard integrated development environment (IDE).
