Object-Oriented Analysis & Design

Software craft through object thinking

The University of Colorado Boulder offers this intermediate course on object-oriented analysis and design. The description presents it as a step toward working as a software craftsperson, framing design as a skill to be practiced rather than a list of rules.

Why it matters

Analysis and design sit before coding. Choosing the right objects and responsibilities early prevents the tangled structures that make later changes painful.

Who it suits

• Programmers who write code but want sounder structure.
• Students preparing for design discussions in teams.

Intermediate suggests prior programming. Check the syllabus for the modeling notation used.
