Object-oriented software
development contains three
major phases before
deployment: object-oriented
analysis (OOA), object-
oriented design (OOD) and
object-oriented programming
(OOP). This course will
focus on OOD. Nevertheless,
you are expected to be
familiar with OOP experience
before you take this course.
The reason is that skills
come with practice. Thus
without proper OOP
experience, it is quite
difficult to comprehend and
appreciate the contents of
this course. The level of
acquaintance on OOP is
intermediate in which you
should not have difficulties
to comprehend the contents
and homework listed in my
OOP course.

In this course, we will
concentrate on our journey
on the design phase and
cover a few things on the
analysis phase. In the
design phase, design
patterns will surely be our
major focus in which
contents in the textbooks
design patterns explained
(DPE) and GoF design
patterns (GoF) will be used.
