Overview
This program explains how to design an object-oriented application and translate it into code. Participants identify classes from a need, understand encapsulation, inheritance and interfaces, then discover design principles (SOLID) and a few common patterns. They also see how a layered architecture and frameworks rely on these notions.
Who this program is for
- Procedural developers moving to objects
