UML / OOA / OOD Training Course in UK - UML / OOA / OOD Training Class Outline

Pre-requisites

Familiarity with structured techniques such as functional decomposition is helpful, but not necessary.

Course Overview

Learn how to use Object-Oriented techniques to analyze real-world requirements and to design solutions that are ready to code. Students learn how to identify and design objects, classes, and their relationships to each other which includes links, associations, and inheritance. A strong emphasis is placed on diagram notation for use cases, class and object representation, links and associations, and object messages.

Implementation in C++, Java, and Delphi is discussed, although students do not need to know those languages.
