Topics Covered
Background and Introduction
The modern software problem The object technology promise The history of object technology The foundation of object technology What are objects? What are object-oriented systems?
Pragmatics of Object-Oriented Programming
Classification - how to identify and classify objects Encapsulation - implementation hiding: how an object hides both a data structure and the code that manipulates this structure, how encapsulation Inheritance - how inheritance creates reusable objects and exploits similarities between object classes Polymorphism - how polymorphism aids reuse and inheritance Object relationships - inheritance, aggregation and cooperation, object coupling, cohesion
Key Concepts
Life cycle - waterfall, spiral and object-oriented life cycles Object-oriented methodologies available today (Process MeNtOR, Booch, Rumbaugh, Coad/Yourdon, Wirfs-Brock/Lorenz, Jacobson), the issues to consider when selecting a methodology Tools - languages, UI, Databases, CASE tools, distributed objects Reuse - techniques and approach, types of reuse Prototyping - why do you and the difference between prototypes and finished product Metrics - estimation, performance, completion, robustness
Strategy for Results
Key decisions and focal points - preparing your staff and organisation, choosing the first object-oriented project What needs to change - the power of paradigms The role of management in object-oriented projects Commercial object technology products Project planning and team organisation Team members and the expertise required Key factors for success Potential pitfalls and lessons learned The reality and future of OT
Prerequisites
Participants should have practical experience in software development in a commercial environment. No prior exposure to object-oriented design or programming is necessary.
