Introduction to Object Orientation for programmers

Prerequisites:

Any developers about to learn an OO language.

Development team members who need to understand object oriented programming including project managers, development managers, testing and documentation specialists.

Course Description:

This course explains fundamental OO concepts as well as the reasons for doing OO development.

Delegates are introduced to an Object Oriented system from the design stage; this involves learning the UML syntax to interpret the diagrams generated from that phase of the development cycle. Using a case tool, delegates will generate an OO system.

Component development and reusability gives the real business benefits in terms of shorter development cycles.

Delegates are shown how standard libraries, in-house components and third party code fit in your plans. Issues such as testing, deployment and maintenance are covered to give delegates an understanding of both the inputs to and outputs from this phase of the software life-cycle.
