Principles of Object Oriented Development

Overview

This course will explore and explain the concepts of Object Orientation. The discipline of Software Engineering has evolved over the years from developing simple programs to complex, distributed systems. As a result of that evolution, issues such as the development process and methodologies have evolved as well as the concept of what constitutes quality software. Object Orientation is a result of that search quality.

The text coverage is backed up through extensive use of pictures, animations, and exercises. The average amount of time to complete the on-line materials is 4 to 6 hours. In addition, the materials may be reviewed at any time to provide reinforcement and greater retention

Objectives

At the end of this course, you should be able to:

• Understand the software quality issues of Modularity, Composability, Decomposability, Reusability, Data Abstraction, Encapsulation and Autonomy.
• Understand and describe all concepts of object orientation and relate them to software quality issues.
• Analyze and design a simple business system using object-oriented techniques.
