Description
This course provides an introduction to object-oriented design in Java with an emphasis on practical techniques for developing complex software systems.
Learning outcomes
You will learn:
- how to apply Responsibility-Driven Design to decompose a complex system into objects
- how to use Design by Contract to develop robust software
- how to make use of inheritance to design flexible and generic software systems
- how to apply iterative and incremental development and continuous refactoring to arrive at a clean and understandable design
- how to effectively test software
- how to develop maintainable code by consistently applying simple design principles
- how to apply design patterns to simplify your software
- how to develop software that communicates its own design
- how to effectively use development tools like debuggers, version control systems, and integrated development environments?
