Programming Foundations: Object-Oriented Design


Author: Barron Stone, Olivia Chiu Stone
Released: 11/27/2018
Skill Level: Beginner
Duration: 2h 40m



All good software starts with a great design. Object-oriented design helps developers plan applications before they write a single line of code, and break down ideas into reusable and maintainable components. This course focuses on the foundational concepts, teaching them in a fun, interactive way to help you quickly develop your skills. Tag team Olivia and Barron Stone introduce you to the concepts and terms—objects, classes, abstraction, inheritance, and more—that you need to get started. They then show how to take the requirements for an app, identify use cases, and map out classes using Universal Modeling Language (UML). The final design can then be translated into code using one of the many popular object-oriented programming languages, such as Java, C#, Ruby, or Python.
Topics include:
Object-oriented basics: objects, classes, and more
Encapsulation
Inheritance
Defining requirements
Identifying use cases, actors, and scenarios
Domain modeling
Identifying class responsibilities and relationships
Creating class diagrams
Using abstract classes
Working with inheritance
Developing software with object-oriented design principles

Programming Foundations: Algorithms

Image
Author: Joe Marini Released: 11/8/2018 Skill Level: Beginner Duration: 1h 45m Algorithms are the universal building blocks of programming. They power the software you use every day, whether it's a spreadsheet, a social network, or a driving assistant. Algorithms offer a way to think about programming challenges in plain English, before they are translated into a specific language like C# or JavaScript. In this course, author and developer Joe Marini explains some of the most popular and useful algorithms for searching and sorting information, working with techniques like recursion, and understanding common data structures. He also discusses the performance implications of different algorithms and how to evaluate the performance of a given algorithm. Each algorithm is shown in practice in Python, but the lessons can be applied to any programming language. Topics include: Measuring algorithm performance Working with data structures such as arrays, stacks, and queues ...

Author: Kathryn Hodge Released: 3/21/2018 Skill Level: Beginner Duration: 2h 11m Java is one of the top five programming languages, and is used for websites, embedded controllers, and Android app development. This is an introduction to get you started programming with Java 9-and the newly introduced JShell. Instructor Kathryn Hodge covers all the basics: data types, strings, arrays, loops, and functions. She helps you control the flow and logic of your code, and debug your project to make sure it runs perfectly. Then go a bit beyond the basics and learn advanced techniques such as encapsulation, inheritance, functional programming, and lambdas. Kathryn introduces challenges along the way to practice your new skills. This three-hour course is perfect for developers who need to get up to speed with Java fast, as well as for beginning programmers who want their first taste of this popular language. Topics include: Downloading Java 9 and choosing an IDE Understandin...
