Object-Oriented Design Workshop

This interactive workshop teaches foundational object-oriented skills like polymorphism, encapsulation, and delegation. Along the way, you’ll explore what poor OO design looks, common traps to avoid and how to produce good OO designs.

Good software design makes code easier to understand, less expensive to maintain and simpler to extend. If you program in an Object-Oriented (OO) language and seek to produce good designs, this workshop is for you.

Through a mix of interactive dialogs, exercises, lectures, demos, and instructional simulation, you’ll learn and practice foundational OO skills, including polymorphism, encapsulation, and delegation. Along the way, you’ll learn what poor OO design looks like, you’ll study common traps to avoid and you’ll discover how to program safe, high-performance OO software.
This workshop is for programmers with up to 2 - 3 years experience who would like to build their object-oriented skill set.

IL has been invaluable. Real-world examples with multimedia and a very knowledgeable trainer gave us confidence to completely shift our paradigm. We adopted most of the principles and have seen enormous benefit.

I loved the level of interaction with the instructor, adapting to feedback, providing very good advice based on experience, asking and advising about personal design usage and issues.
