Audience

This is a basic course for:

Client-server and Web developers moving into object-oriented development or simply upgrading their skills to meet today's demand for object-oriented savvy developers. This course helps them understand the principles behind the technology and lays the foundation for advanced object technology topics, tools, and practices.
Data modelers who understand the need to better communicate with object modelers using one tool, methodology, and standard notation. Further, as the industry moves to object-based modeling of data for relational and object relational databases, this course lays the foundation needed by data modelers new to object-oriented software development and UML.
Members of the real-time community who want to make a paradigm shift to object-oriented design and development and who need to acquaint themselves with the UML. Real-time developers who have not made significant use of state charts and want to learn how they can be applied to produce a solid object-oriented design for real-time systems. Designers and developers who want to think object even when traditional structured implementation languages are used.
Software managers who understand the need to be conversant in key object-oriented concepts to better work with team members and lead object-oriented related projects.
