Course 200 : Migrating to OO Programming with Java[tm] Technology

Migrating to OO Programming With Java[tm] Technology provides students with the necessary concepts and skills to move to Java technology. This course teaches basic object-oriented (OO) concepts and object-oriented analysis and design as they relate to Java technology, as well as introductory Java programming language constructs. This is not a programming course. It is a preparatory course so that students can learn the necessary background in preparation for taking Course 300: Java Programming Language.

Who Can Benefit

This course is ideal for developers with a non-object-oriented programming background who want to begin the migration to the Java programming language.

Prerequisites

To succeed fully in this course, students should be able to:

• Have at least six months of programming experience
• Have experience designing applications

Skills Gained

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Demonstrate understanding of key object-oriented programming concepts
• Identify objects in a problem domain
• Design a class diagram for a problem domain
• Develop basic Java classes based on a class diagram

Course Content

Module 1: Objects

• Describe abstraction and how it is used in object orientation
• Identify objects and non-objects from a problem domain
• Describe object encapsulation
  

Module 2: Classes

• Group objects with similar attributes and common operations in classes
• Explain how classes are used to define objects
• Define inheritance and explain how it relates to software reuse
• Define generalization and specialization and how they relate to inheritance
• Define polymorphism and explain how inheritance promotes polymorphism
• Define abstract classes
  

Module 3: Using Java Classes

• Code class declarations
• Define the primitive types
• Declare class variables using primitive types
• Declare class variables using reference variables
• Use inheritance correctly
• Use abstract classes
• Use the import statement to include packaged classes in a program
• Use the package statement to group classes in a class hierarchy
• Understand the structure of a Java program
• Name Java classes and other identifiers according to Java programming language guidelines

Module 4: Using Java Methods

• Define class behavior using methods
• Declare a public method for encapsulation
• Pass arguments to a method
• Describe a method's signature
• Explain how method overloading works
• Use a constructor to instantiate an object

Module 5: Object Interaction

• Explain how objects interact with each other through object messaging
• Define association and composiiton
• Decide whether a relationship between two objects should be association or composition
• Define the lifetime of an object with regard to association and composition
• Define the custody of an object with regard to association and composition
  

Module 6: Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML

• Create a set of use cases to describe a problem domain
• Create a sequence diagram for a use case
• Create a class diagram for a problem domain
• Create an activity diagram for a use case
• Code class declarations for the class diagram.

Appendix A: Java Programming Constructs

• Use casting and promotion
• Apply operators in a statement
• Code looping constructs
• Code an if statement.
• Use switch correctly
• Describe how break affects a loop
