Object Oriented Programming

Course Specifications

Course number: 085584
Course length: 1.0 day(s)

Course Description

You have probably written software code that focuses on the procedures of a system. You may now need to write code that focuses on the properties of the objects involved in the system rather than the procedures. In this course, you will examine the concepts underlying the object-oriented programming model.

Course Objective: You will examine the principles of object-oriented programming.

Target Student: The target student is interested in learning general object-oriented programming concepts. This course provides a foundation for students desiring to go on and learn one or more object-oriented programming languages.

Prerequisites: To ensure your success, we recommend you first take the course, Introduction to Programming (Second Edition), or have equivalent knowledge.

Performance-Based Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

· describe the characteristics and benefits of object-oriented programming.

· identify the elements of the object model.

· identify the key phases in software product development.

· explore software design methodologies and tools.

·determine the use of object programming in windowed applications.

· examine application development for the Internet.
