Lecture: "Effective teaching of programming in Java"

Java programming language today is one of the most accurate object-oriented languages that supports true višeplatformness and built-in višedretivity, which along with standard OOP programmers offers aspects of functional paradigm and which today has a significant application both on desktop computers, as well as on servers, mobile devices and built-in devices.

As part of this lecture, we will look back at the short history of the Java course: when it started, how did it start and foršit started. ŠThis is what students say about veštini? ŠWe did everything from 2003 to 2014 and how did it help FER?

The lecture and discussion after it will seek answers to the questions of the application of ICT in the education of engineers. Some of the questions to be asked are:

• Do I teach Java to students?
• Is it a better compulsory subject, elective or veština?
• What problems do students have in overcoming Java?
• What problems does the teacher have?
• What feedback does the industry provide?
• Is there a difference in teaching those who have a greater programming experience in another language than those who have no programming experience?
