In this 3-day instructor-led course, students learn how to adopt an object-oriented (OO) approach to software development. The course is designed for experienced developers coming to Java from non object-oriented languages such as COBOL, RPG, or C. It is also appropriate for those who are new to programming.
Through a combination of instructor-led lectures and hands-on exercises, students take a case study through the stages of object-oriented requirements gathering, analysis, and design using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Students learn how the Java language supports object-oriented programming, and how object-oriented designs can be implemented in Java. Numerous hands-on exercises and demonstrations provide practical experience with OO development from analysis and design to implementation.
This course includes topics such as interpreting UML diagrams, recognizing Java constructs that enable object-orientation, and how design patterns can improve the implementation of applications. The course also provides an overview of different software development methodologies that can be applied to the development of object-oriented applications.
This course prepares students for further training in the Java programming language by providing a sound foundation in OO principles.

This basic course is designed for architects, designers, analysts, developers, testers, administrators, managers, and project managers who will use object-oriented technology to build applications.
Skills taught
- State the advantages of an object-oriented approach to software development
- Describe essential object-oriented concepts and terminology
- Perform OO requirements gathering, analysis, and design
- Describe the role of Unified Modeling Language (UML) in object-oriented analysis and design
- Read the most commonly used types of UML diagrams
- Create UML use case, class, and sequence diagrams
- Describe the impact of designing an application that can accommodate changes and the approaches to support such designs
- Create Java classes that implement an object-oriented design
- Apply Java language constructs that enable and enforce OO-related concepts such as data encapsulation, strict typing and type conversion, inheritance, and polymorphism
- Explain how design patterns can improve the implementation of OO designs
