Intended Audience
This course provides valuable information and hands-on practice for developers, project managers, analysts, and designers who are making the paradigm shift to object technology and desire an understanding of object technology and design concepts.

Client/server and Web developers moving into OO development or simply upgrading their skills to meet today's demand for OO savvy developers.
Learn the principles behind the technology and lay the foundation for advanced object technology topics, tools, and practices. Data modellers who need to better communicate with object modellers using one tool, methodology, and standard notation. Further, as the industry moves to object-based modelling of data for relational and object relational databases, lay the foundation needed by data modellers new to OO software development and UML Members of the real-time community who want to make a paradigm shift to OO design and development and who need to acquaint themselves with the Object Technology.

Software managers who need to be conversant in key OO concepts to better work with team members and lead OO related projects.
