Description
This course provides a practical introduction to object-oriented concepts, as well as hands-on experience an applying these
concepts to a real-world problem domain. The motivation for, and principles of objects and object-oriented software are
described. Next, the techniques that facilitate the development of such systems are described. Additionally, a working knowledge
of UML as a modeling language is provided and used it to perform analysis of a problem domain. The heart of the course centers
on a practicum with which to gain experience in the concepts and techniques in the class. Closing topics focus on methods
for improving designs (refactoring and patterns)
