Object – Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML

Course Structure

• This course is structured to follow a generic form of software development process that focuses on the analysis and design aspects as applicable to an OO software project.
• This generic process can be easily adapted to specific processes, which are discussed later in the course.
• Expert Oracle University instructors will present a pragmatic approach to object-oriented (OO) software development following proven OO technologies, principles and patterns as applicable to OO languages like the Java (TM) programming language.

People Who Will Benefit from this Course

• System architects, software engineers, systems analysts and designers responsible for the conception and creation of object-oriented software applications will find the most value in taking this course. Architects responsible for the conception and creation of object-oriented software applications can also benefit from this educational investment.
