This course
note continues the development of
programming and problem-solving skills, focusing on object-oriented programming
and design (OOP/OOD), and improved programming practices. Topics include: an
introduction to the Java programming language, encapsulation and information
hiding, proper program and class design, inheritance, polymorphism, and
generics. Other topics may be added, time permitting.

This note provides a broad coverage of
object-oriented design and modeling, ranging from basic concepts of modeling to
class and state modeling techniques, from basic to advanced. Finally,
interaction modeling is dealt with-a very important aspect in the design and
analysis of interactions of a system. Other key areas of discussion are process
overview, system conception, domain analysis, application analysis, system
design, class design, and implementation modeling. Legal systems and design
patterns conclude most discussions in the document to give an all-rounded
outlook on OOD and its application in many contexts.
This PDF focuses on the methodologies and techniques of
object-oriented analysis and design. It starts with the basic overview of object
orientation and system development. After that, it goes into details about
various object relationships and dynamic binding. The key OOAD methodologies
include a discussion on the Rambaugh methodology, OMT-Booch, Jacobson, and the
Unified Approach. This paper further goes in-depth with UML by elaborating on
class diagrams and dynamic modeling. The development process, which is described
in this outline, includes phases like inception and elaboration. Additional
topics include design axioms, class visibility, and methods. Other topics
include OODBMS and interaction diagrams. This will be helpful for students and
professionals alike in learning about the different methodologies of OOAD and
how these are applied practically to the design of systems.
