Duration: 5 days

Description 
This class will teach students core concepts, techniques, methodologies and best practices neccessary to perform Object Oriented analyis and design. Students will develop a number of object-oriented designs and models to focus on developing skills and understanding of object-oriented design. A number of different models will be used so students can see OO design implemented in a number of different scenarios. Students will learn best practices with use-case, CRC analysis, UML diagramming, design patterns, problem domain analysis, activity diagramming, interaction diagramming, and class diagramming. This class is presented in a workshop having students work on small, intermedidate and large designs. This course offers in-depth coverage of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) by some of the top object-oriented experts in the nation. The last day is focused more advanced topics and designs to prepare students for real-life environments.
