Software Design and Development: Object-oriented Analysis and Design

In this course we adopt the object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) methodology for developing computer programs. This methodology guides the developer into the proper structure for developing programs. We will begin by looking at this methodology to see how it helps the programmer develop better computer programs and consider how this approach compares to the traditional procedural style of software development. Next we will discuss design patterns and take a look at how object-oriented relationships work. Finally you will use an object-oriented programming (OOP) approach to solving programming problems and developing code based on your solutions. After completing this course youll be able to outline the object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) approach to solving programming problems.
