Discover object-oriented principles, design patterns, and problem-solving by designing real-world complex systems.

Computer Science Bootcamp

Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) is a software engineering approach that involves designing systems using object-oriented concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. It results in efficient code organization, sounder problem-solving, and improved system scalability. Learning OOAD provides developers with the skills to design feature-rich, adaptable, and high-quality software systems. This module briefly covers OOAD, including a quick refresher of OOP basic building blocks such as encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism, followed by object-oriented design principles, design patterns, and real-world problem-solving. By the end of this module, we’ll know how these building blocks can be utilized to design real-world software systems, such as a meeting scheduler and a restaurant management system.
