T.E. Computer “Introduction to Java Programming” Workshop Report 22nd July 2017

Third year computer engineering students attended a workshop on “Introduction to Java Programming” on 22nd July 2017 at Don Bosco College of Engineering, Fatorda – Goa. The workshop was organized by C-CODES computer students association. A total of 54 students participated in the workshop. The workshop started at 9.00 am with a hands-on session in the Computer Department laboratories. Prof. Amrita Naik, Prof. Christina Barretto, Prof Amey Kerkar and Prof. Kiran Waghmare were the resource faculty for the day. Prof. Merwyn D’Souza was the coordinator for the workshop.
Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers “write once, run anywhere” (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation. Java applications are typically compiled to byte code that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.

The workshop covered the basics of Java like creating java applications in Netbeans, data types, variable declaration in java, operators, input-output operations in java, conditional statements, looping statements, methods definition, strings, Arrays, class definition etc. In this hands-on course, students gained hands-on experience with Java programming and its object-oriented features. Students learnt to write, compile and execute Java programs, build robust applications using Java’s object-oriented features, and created robust applications using Java class libraries.
