Object Orientation

In the course Object Orientation the fundamental concepts behind object oriented design and programming are discussed.

Intro Object Orientation

The course starts with an introduction that explains how object orientation originated. Attention is paid to the software crisis and how you can regard objects as both domain and program concepts.

Classes and Objects

Next the characteristics of classes and objects are discussed. The course then covers what classes are and how objects can be instantiated. Also treated is how the responsibility for data storage and processing can be assigned to classes by means of attributes and methods.

Object Oriented Concepts

Then well known object oriented concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces and abstract classes are explained and demonstrated. The relationships that can exist between classes, such as association, aggregation and composition, are also treated.

Object Oriented Modeling

Finally attention is paid to the standard methods and techniques of object oriented system design and modeling with UML.

Audience Object Orientation Course

The course Object Orientation is intended for individuals who want to become familiar with the basic concepts of object-oriented system development.

Prerequisites Course Object Orientation

To join the course Object Orientation no specific skills or knowledge is required. General knowledge of system design is helpful to a proper understanding.

Realization Training Object Orientation

The theory is treated on the basis of presentation slides. Demos and exercises are used to illustrate the theory. The course material is in English. The course times are from 9.30 up and to 16.30.

Certification Object Orientation

Participants receive an official certificate Object Orientation after successful completion of the course.
