Object Analysis Design Requirements Analysis

This is the first title in a series of two, and covers the same material as the first half of the Instructor Led course Object Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML. This course teaches students the principles and terminology of object oriented development, and how to apply object oriented techniques to define systems using the notation of the Unified Modeling Language (UML).

Learn To:

• The principles and terminology of object oriented development
• How to apply object oriented techniques to define systems using the notation of the Unified Modeling Language (UML).

Content Emphasis

Conceptual

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 in an application development environment. No prior knowledge of object technology required, although students will benefit from a basic understanding of object technology principles. This course supplements Oracle8 courses and Oracle Designer/2000 R2: Modeling Object Types (course 60421).
