The lecture Programming I is about fundamentals of programming for freshman students.

The lecture covers aspects like primitive and reference data types, operators, expressions, control flow, routine (method) definitions, I/O programming, recursive and object oriented programming. JAVA is used as teaching language, nevertheless the principles are applicable to every (imperative or class based object oriented) programming language.

The lecture is given for computer science students at Lübeck University of Applied Sciences and will cover following aspects:

• fundamental concepts of programming including programming paradigms and runtime models
• variables, data types, operators and expressions
• control flow and routines (functions, procedures, methods)
• reference data types and collections
• (stream based) I/O programming and serialization of objects
• recursive programming and datastructures
• exception handling
• object oriented programming and UML introducing fundamental concepts like abstraction, encapsulation, polymorphism
• classes, objects, packages (JAVA specifics)
