IFQ584 Object-Oriented Design and Development

Object orientation is a program design principle applicable to software at various scales. In this unit you will extend your knowledge of small-scale object-oriented programming to large-scale systems in which the classes and objects mirror their real-world counterparts in the business-level processes the software supports (e.g., customers, orders, products, projects, etc). To do so you will learn about and apply several standard software design principles and patterns applicable to large-scale IT systems, and you will learn how such designs are communicated professionally and used as part of object-oriented software development processes. You will then implement those designs in an industry-standard object-oriented programming language, making use of its various library modules. Depending on the nature of the practical projects you complete this could require implementing user interfaces, executing concurrent threads, interacting with databases, and so on.
