COURSE # SOO-656
INTRODUCTION TO OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING
Most timely, focused presentation of the Object Oriented Programming methodology, languages and applications.
Object Oriented Programming, (OOP), has been evolving over the last two decades; it was not until recently, however, that it gained prominence as a preferred methodology in many applications. Object Oriented languages such as C++, Smalltalk and CLOS find widespread use today. This course introduces the programming methodology and explores the benefits of the Object Oriented Programming in building modern software systems. Several course sessions will be dedicated to actual demonstrations of object oriented programming.
Applications and benefits:
You will benefit by enhancing your understanding of the :
- Most appropriate applications of Object Oriented Programming.
- Cost benefits, improved software reliability and maintainability.
- Criteria for language selection amongst C++, Smalltalk and CLOS.
- Ways to speed up the design using existing Object Oriented Libraries.
- Methodologies for Object Oriented Development.
Who should attend:
This course introduces the powerful methodology of Object Oriented Programming and its applications in science, technology and business. It will serve as an invaluable resource to program managers, systems analysts, software developers, engineers and scientists who currently use OOP, or consider using it in the future. The prerequisite for this course is a working knowledge of one or more structured programming languages such as C, Pascal, Ada or Lisp.
