Application developers today must be able to build, evolve and maintain very complex software solutions. Component-based technologies, such as the Object Oriented (OO) software development paradigm, are ideally suited to the development of this type of software. This course introduces OO concepts and how Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used to represent Objects, Classes, Components, Relationships, Architectural Design and the supporting diagrams.

Participants will explore the many benefits of the UML approach and discuss the most effective techniques in use today, such as Use Case analysis, static and dynamic system modeling, responsibility driven design using CRC, using UML to document designs, and much more. The focus of the course is to give a practical approach to producing high quality Object Oriented software designs.
