About the Course

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....

Great course to learn the concepts of Software Designing and how it is used in real business scenarios. This course is indeed very helpful for aspiring product developers who aim to be an architect.

Almost all video are entirely based on the course notes, but some extra examples make the worth watching. I learned a lot of concepts about OOD thanks to the easy and clear explanations in the course notes. I really disliked the android stuff, was really hard to complete the capstone projects.

Lessons give a large overview, but not enough information for completing the practical activities. Also the reading material does not have sufficient information on it. Concepts are presented individually, often without any comprehensive examples for practical use.

The course content is good. The presenter is good,too.

But the discussion forums need monitoring from the staff, as there were many questions with no answers. Some of these questions are crucial for student's understanding of the material.

you should update the content of the course, it's using old android and it will be better if you just use java as the prerequisite for the course is java not android and xml and all the distracting stuff

good material to refresh OOD but I think the Android project to practice its a bit too much and not sure if you really show that you understand design patterns.

Purely peer reviewed grades, solutions don't always match lecture instructions.

Not really ideal for learning OOP fundamentals when Android studio is involved.

Too oriented towards Java, peer graded assigments are too many. Given code doesn't work easily for someone who has not experience with Android Studio.

dull, it's better to have presenter who knows what he/she is talking about.
