Object Oriented Analysis and Design: Design

Audience

This course is aimed at business managers business analysts technical analysts database designers and anyone responsible for analysis and design tasks during the object oriented application development lifecycle. These people are likely to be graduate professionals with some experience of the application development environment. This course is part of an Oracle integrated curriculum and supplements our Oracle8 courses and Oracle Designer/2000 R2: Modeling Object Types (course 60421). Participants should have taken the first part of this series Object Analysis and Design: Requirements and Analysis (course 60027) prior to taking this course.

Objective

• How to apply a development process to move a project from requirements capture through to implementation
• A number of objecttorelational mapping techniques.
