Object Oriented Design

 Description

This intensive, 4 day workshop teaches practical techniques for designing Object Oriented applications.   The course teaches students how to transform the descriptive models created during an Object Oriented Analysis into computational models that can be coded.  Students learn to design both the external (client) view of a Class, and guidelines for making decisions about the internal representations of the static and dynamic aspects of the Class.  Students learn how to evaluate the factors that influence a design, and make trade-offs to meet project requirements.

The course emphasis the design process.  Both theory and real world examples, with problem solving sessions and case studies, are presented.  The course also introduces the concept of a design pattern, which is a solution to a set of problems that has been proven by real world experience.  Several patterns are explored in depth.
