Course Description: Object Oriented Analysis

This course provides a thorough introduction of object-oriented design using UML through implementation in C++ or Java.

Discover how this evolutionary approach reduces risks and helps achieve both software and system engineering goals. Additional topics covered include Unified Software Development Process and Design Patterns.
