Advanced Object-Oriented Design Using Patterns and Frameworks

This intensive four-day course provides a practical working knowledge of object-oriented design with UML, patterns, and frameworks. Through written exercises, participants gain confidence in building effective designs with the UML notation and well-known design patterns and frameworks. In the application of UML, patterns, and frameworks to a case study, participants gain understanding in how to complete an object-oriented design. Course examples and exercises use Java.

Attendance at the UML Object-Oriented Analysis and Design course or equivalent training or work experience.

After completing this course, participants should be able to:

• Solve complex object based computing problems using patterns
• Identify specific problems that can be solved with design patterns
• Select the appropriate design pattern to solve a computing problem
• Document pattern-based computing solutions using UML diagrams
• Select the most appropriate solution to a computing problem between a pattern or a framework
• Build useful frameworks to create generic solutions to common OO design problems

This course may prove useful to people such as systems designers and developers who will analyze, design, and develop object-oriented programs.
