Course Description

There are a number of concepts and methodologies that encompass what is known as object-oriented design. In this course, you'll explore object-oriented design concepts such as Single responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov substitution, Interface segregation and Dependency inversion (SOLID), Unified Modeling Language (UML), class responsibility collaboration (CRC) cards, and General Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns (GRASP).
