Object oriented programming and design
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.

Object Oriented Programming by Carl Erickson
Carl Erickson's note on Object-Oriented Programming introduces the OOP paradigm in detail. It first gives an explanation of Motivation for Object-Oriented Programming and The Object-Oriented Paradigm, including insights as to why OOP is effective. The note discusses essential concepts of OOP: Abstraction, Identity, Encapsulation, and Modularity, object-oriented messaging, and object-oriented hierarchy. It also discussed naming conventions, object-oriented typing, and concurrency and persistence. Other heads-up are on practical aspects of OOP: the Object-Oriented Development Process and ObjectOriented Analysis Techniques. It also provides tools for effective design through the use of UML notation, CRC cards, and object-oriented class relationships. In simple terms, this can be a useful resource to understand the theoretical and practical aspects of OOP regarding its pitfalls and best practices.

Object oriented design and analysis
Object-oriented design and analysis with the use of UML is dealt with in detail in the book. First of all, the introduction to UML is given, and then it proceeds further with some basic and advanced structural modeling using UML. The class and object diagrams are discussed in detail, after which the behavioral modeling both at basic and advanced levels is explained. It also provides an architectural modeling facility in the book with extensive case studies, like a unified library application and an ATM application. Through these applications, the book gives them much insight into applying theoretical concepts in practice; therefore, it is an essential guide to understand how to apply OOD principles in real-life projects.
