About This Training Course

This introductory one day Object Technology Refresher Training Course has been developed for computer professionals who wish to update their skills in object-oriented concepts and management techniques.

Subjects Covered

This Object Technology Refresher Training Course covers the following subjects:

• 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
