Course Description

This course takes Java beginners to the next level by covering object-oriented analysis and design. You will discover how to create modular, flexible, and reusable software, by applying object-oriented design principles and guidelines. And, you will be able to communicate these designs in a visual notation known as Unified Modelling Language (UML).You will be challenged in the Capstone Project to apply your knowledge of object-oriented design by evolving and documenting the Java codebase for an Android application with corresponding UML documentation.After completing this course, you will be able to: - Apply the Class Responsibility Collaborator (CRC) technique to analyze and design the object-oriented model for a problem.- Explain and apply object-oriented modeling principles and their purpose (e.g., abstraction, encapsulation, decomposition, generalization).- Explain and apply different types of inheritance- Explain the difference between association, aggregation, and composition dependencies.- Express object-oriented models as Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagrams.- Translate between UML class diagrams and equivalent Java code.- Apply design guidelines for modularity, separation of concerns, information hiding, and conceptual integrity to create a flexible, reusable, maintainable design.- Explain the tradeoff between cohesion and coupling.

Good but description of few concepts should have given more examples like object types, state diagram etc

Awesome and not boring content

By Donatien L on 25-Feb-18

This was really very helpful course, learn many concepts from this.

By Luis V on 28-Feb-18

Good content and very updated. Cover everything in this subject. It is challenge-full enough no matter your level. It is a must take course.

All is very good!

By Maru A on 27-Dec-17

Honestly, this course is very poor and doesnt gives you necessary tools to model a object oriented solution in UML. The exercises need to be more real , what i mean is there isnt any code to help us to understand the real application of UML in POO.

By Tereshchenko V on 10-Oct-17

Videos are not bad, but assignments more about Android applications development (not covered in the course) than about Object-Oriented Design.

By Manjunath D on 22-May-18

Not happy with the examples are given and not more interactive one .

By Anastasia K on 30-Aug-19

So tired to deal with the android system. Spent more time making it work than studying the material

By Bogdan N on 7-Jul-19

Course teaches you some basics but it gets quite quickly over certain elements. In a 7 minute/10 minute video you can't have a good understanding of the UML Sequence Diagram or UML State Diagram. I would have like to see more details on that part that could allow to do a better job at capstone projects.
