Object Oriented Design

Duration: 5 days

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the industry standard notational language for developing object oriented software. This is an advanced course in object technology. It covers developing an architecture, and looks at system level design issues including the use of patterns. There is a small amount of optional coding in the class. There are code examples in simple C++. A case study of a real software system will be followed throughout the course.

This course is appropriate for senior engineers with some experience in Object Oriented Development. Homework projects are in the form of text documents and UML models of a realistic software system. Use of an OO development tool is encouraged, but not required. Participants should have access to a word processing tool.
