CIS 117 - Java Programming I Description This course reviews programming basics such as variables, repetition statements, decision statements, arrays and the creation of basic classes. Students write classes that use composition, inheritance, and polymorphism. Students receive a good foundation in object oriented programming concepts. This language is portable and particularly suited for applications programming.
