Object Oriented Analysis & Design with the Unified Modeling Language (UML)

A good understanding of object-oriented analysis and design is important in designing effective systems using modern software engineering languages and frameworks such as C++, .NET and Java. This five-day course teaches you how to use object-oriented techniques to analyze real-world requirements and to design solutions that are ready to code. The course employs Unified Modeling Language, using UML 2.0 notation. The course contains a case study of an object-oriented system. Progressive labs go through the analysis and design of this system, which is documented in UML notation. Implementations are provided of the case study in C++, Java and C#.

Some exposure to the problems of analysis and design. Experience with structured analysis and design and object-oriented programming would be helpful.
