Prudent OO Design

Is your code object-oriented? Developing with objects involves more than using languages like Java, C#, C++ or Smalltalk for that matter. From time to time, the OO paradigm stumps even expert developers. Agile programming becomes a mere act of hack if we code without knowing the OO principles. What are these principles – the ones that influence your design? In this presentation the speaker will present some of the challenges that are fundamental in nature. Then he will present OO Design principles and good practices for prudent development of OO code.

Topics: • Metrics of design • Good design vs. bad design • Perils of design • Principles for OO Design • Examples that illustrate the principles

Benefits: • Learn principles that lead to better design • Learn fundamentals that will change the way you will code • Gain insight into the design tools needed for agile development • Helps improve the quality of your system • Better your design skills
