6. Course Introduction
The purpose of this course is to teach you how to develop high quality software systems using object oriented techniques and the Java programming language.
Without following the principles of object oriented programming, the complexity of a software system grows disproportionately with the size of the system.

8. Why Java? Java is the best language for illustrating object concepts.
Much of the effort in learning Java is learning the class libraries that define the Java environment or API. To illustrate a concept or idea about object-oriented programming in general, we may refer to the Java language in particular.
Consequently, at the same time you are learning an object-oriented concept, you will be learning about the Java language.

9. Course Topics Object-Oriented concepts
class
abstraction
inheritance
polymorphism, etc.
UML - a tool for describing relationships among objects.
The Java programming language - syntax and semantics of the language, including the object-oriented features of the language.
The object-oriented features of the language will be easier to understand and appreciate after you have gone through the object-oriented concepts portion of the course mentioned above.

10. Course Topics
4. Object-Oriented analysis and design: techniques for designing an object-oriented application.
currently used A&D techniques such as CRC cards and use cases, design patterns and notations such as UML (Unified Modeling Language).
UML is important because it has become the standard notation for discussing software design. Knowing UML will give you the ability to learn new designs and also communicate your design ideas to others.
5. Miscellaneous topics, including: the JUnit testing tool and refactoring.
