Principles of Object-Oriented
Design Course

Since 1986, software researchers and practitioners have been studying the discipline of object-oriented design. In that time, they have developed a set of well-defined design principles that aid developers in designing software that is robust, flexible, maintainable, and reusable.

In this 2-day course, you'll learn about these design principles and how to apply them. Through lectures and discussions, you'll learn 10 design principles that can be used for class design, package cohesion and package coupling.

Then, working in teams, you'll have an opportunity to apply these principles in realistic design situations through intensive hands-on lab exercises. Each team will share their solution with the rest of the class creating a dynamic collaborative learning experience!
