Object Oriented Application Development With UML

Course:  OOAD
Duration:  5 Days
Level:  I
Course Summary

You have probably written software code that focuses on the procedures of a system. You may now need to write code that focuses on the properties of the objects involved in the system rather than the procedures. We will begin by examining the concepts underlying the object-oriented programming model.

Modern software systems are complex. By pictorially representing the software design and business processes, organizations can deliver higher quality systems to the customers and end users.

UML (Unified Modeling Language) is the OMG approved industry-standard notation for producing the models of a system. It is used for visualizing, specifying, constructing and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system. You can use UML with all processes, throughout the development life cycle from analysis to testing and debugging, and across different implementation technologies.

In this course, you will be introduced to the basic concepts of the Unified Modeling Language (UML), Model Driven Architecture (MDA), and the Unified Software Development Process. You will also draw all the 13 diagrams of the UML.

You'll learn to generate and interpret UML models as applied to a wide range of activities using the significant extensions and enhancements of UML 2. These skills are put into practice using a variety of tools.

Who Should Take This Course

The target student is interested in learning general object-oriented programming concepts. This course provides a foundation for students desiring to go on and learn one or more object-oriented programming languages. Business analysts, designers, programmers, project managers and all other personnel involved in systems development. UML practitioners who wish to update their skills to UML 2 will also benefit. Knowledge of object-oriented techniques is helpful but not required.

Recommended Prerequisites

Some analysis, design or programming experience is essential.

Training Style

Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.
