Course Description:	Syntax and semantics of programming languages, grammars, design of programming languages, data types, variables, expressions and statements, procedures, recursion, parameter passing, dynamic and static memory management. Functional, logic, and object-oriented programming paradigms. Examples from typical and modern programming languages.
Course Objectives:	The main objective of this course is to develop an understanding of the fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming. It covers object-oriented concepts such as classes and objects, encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, composition, etc. The course aims to teach students the principles and tools to design and implement applications using Java language and object-oriented design and concepts.

CONCLUDING REMARKS BY THE COURSE LECTURER

I think that the course should have two hours of lesson and three hours of lab sessions because the students need to have more hands-on time.
