Java Object Oriented Programming Concepts

This course is designed to provide the software developer with a broad overview of the Java object oriented approach. Developers will learn the key elements of object oriented applications including classes, interfaces, attributes, objects, access levels, inheritance and polymorphism.

Although this course does not instruct the developer on full detailed object oriented design techniques, on completion of this course, developers will be ready to move on to more detailed Java training courses in a 'non-design' capacity.

As with most of the courses available from RSM, for one-company, on-site courses we can tailor the course agenda to suit your particular requirements. In many cases, we are able to build your in-house standards and naming conventions into your course.

What you will learn

On successful completion of this course you will be able to:

understand the concepts of object oriented programming
differentiate between objects and classes
describe object instantiation
differentiate between instance methods and variables and class methods and variables
explain the concept and benefits of messaging and encapsulation
describe the concept and benefits of inheritance
explain the concept and benefits of interfaces
explain the concept and benefits of polymorphism
discuss concept of object modelling and the Unified Modelling Language.
