About this course
Object Orientation (OO) is a methodology that is used for the whole software development life cycle: from analysis of users’ needs, to design and then coding and testing. The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a standard set of diagrams for modelling your system using an OO approach.
The OO Analysis and Design course is for programmers who want to develop in any object-oriented language, such as Java, C# or C++. You will learn how to analyse, design and document your system using OO principles. It will help you to understand the problem and the solution better, communicate it more effectively and write better code.
The first 3 days of this course run in parallel with the Object-Oriented Analysis course. The shorter course is for analysts who are not programmers.
What others say
Why you want to attend
You should attend the Object Oriented Analysis and Design course if:- You are a programmer moving to an object-oriented language, like Java.
- You are a programmer using an object-oriented language, but want to understand and use object-oriented principles more effectively.
- You are a system analyst or designer, and you need to design object-oriented systems.
- You are a system architect, and you need to understand how to design and create object-oriented systems.
What you need to know first
Before you attend the Object Oriented Analysis and Design course:- You should have some experience in programming, ideally in an object-oriented language like Java, C# or C++.
