Object-Oriented Design in Agile is a hands-on programming course that teaches design concepts through extensive exercises. All exercises are done via the application of test-driven development.

Upon completion of this course, you will:

• understand and be able to create core "agile" UML models
  • class models
  • sequence models
  • state models
  • collaboration models
  • activity models
• understand the SOLID class design principles and how to apply them in code
• be able to know when to use UML to help solve problems
• understand how the refactoring step in TDD relates to design
• understand how to incorporate design patterns
• understand the concept of simple design
• learn several of the core design patterns
• understand how to approach OO design in the context of a software development process
• learn how to gather and analyze requirements with use cases
• understand the distinctions between use cases and user stories

Most importantly, you'll understand how TDD allows you to incrementally grow a system while ensuring it maintains an optimal design, one that promotes and sustains low-cost maintenance.

Currently this course is offered in Java. With reasonable advance notice, we can also deliver a comparable course for C++, C#, and Ruby.
