Opleiding: Object Oriented Programming
In the course Object Oriented Programming from SpiralTrain participants learn to program in an object oriented language such as Java, C# or Python.Intro Object Orientation
The course starts with an overview of how Object Orientation evolved from other software development paradigms such as structured and procedural programming.
Lowering of Semantic Gap
An important advantage of Object Orientation is that domain concepts can be found directly in the software. It is explained how this lowering of the Semantic Gap makes the code more understandable and maintainable.
Classes and Objects
Subsequently concepts such as Classes and Objects, Fields and Methods, Getters and Setters, Constructors and Destructors are discussed. The concepts are the same for all Object Oriented languages, but in the course attention is also paid to differences at the detail level.
Encapsulation
Also treated is the concept of Encapsulation with which the internal data of classes is shielded from the outside world so that changes in the implementation can be made without modifications to the calling code.
Inheritance and Polymorphism
The concepts of Inheritance and Polymorphism are also part of the course program. By means of Inheritance derived classes can reuse the code from the base class and thus avoid duplication of code. Polymorphism makes it possible to give base class methods a different meaning in a derived class. The runtime environment can then automatically find these methods through dynamic binding.
Design Patterns
Finally attention is paid to Design Patterns in Object Oriented software, which provide standard template solutions for common problems.
Audience Course Object Oriented Programming
The course Object Oriented Programming is intended for anyone who wants to learn object oriented programming with classes and objects.
Prerequisites Course Object Oriented Programming
In order to participate in this course experience with programming in a procedural programming language is required.
Realization Training Object Oriented Programming
The theory is discussed on the basis of presentation slides. The theory is explained further through demos. After discussing a module there is the possibility to practice. Course times are from 9.30 to 16.30.
Certification Course Object Oriented Programming
After successful completion of the course the participants receive an official certificate Object Oriented Programming.
