Course Number:  OODP

Course Description:  This advanced Object-Oriented course provides software architects and designers with skills to create high quality object-oriented designs exhibiting improved flexibility, reduced maintenance costs, and with increased understanding of the resulting code. Participants learn more than 30 object-oriented patterns, including the 23 micro-architectures in "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software", by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides (the gang-of-four, or GoF book). Application examples and code snippets are provided to illustrate the patterns and the rationale for using that pattern in a given situation.

Objectives:  Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Improve Software Architecture
• Build Design Pattern Vocabulary
• Apply various design patterns
• Write better object-oriented code
• Improve documenting object-oriented code
• Review relevant UML notation

Benefits: 

Target Audience:  Software architects and designers requiring advanced design skills.

Prerequisites:  Object-Oriented Analysis & Design-UML or equivalent experience. At least 6 months experience programming with an object-oriented programming language.

Course Length:  Instructor Led
