------------------------------------------------------------------------

Object Oriented Programming attempts to improve the way we design and build
software for large or complex applications . Object Oriented techniques provide
a practical implementation of software engineering techniques such as 
modularity, abstraction and encapsulation.

Increasingly, Corporations whose businesses rely on efficient use of Software
Engineering resources are seeking an understanding of the true value of the
O.O. approach as a smart way of increasing programmer productivity. In response,
DIGITAL now offers a two week introductory training event in Object Oriented
Technology at Sophia Antipolis, France.

The audience for the program includes technical managers as well as Software
Engineers or Programmers who need a thorough introduction to the technology.
	
The program provides  strategic and conceptual knowledge as well as "hands-on"
training in the C++ Programming Language.

 

The program [EY-I505E-L0-0001-AR] schedule is as follows:   

       DATE                      Module
       ----                      ------

Individuals who seek an overview of the technology will be most interested
in the first two modules by booking on EY-I506E-L0-0001-AR, while individuals 
needing technical skills are advised to enroll in the entire two week program.
[EY-I505E-L0-0001-AR].

Descriptions of each module are attached.


 
  






BUSINESS and OBJECT ORIENTED TECHNOLOGY -       Module 1                                  1 DAY


This is an interactive seminar/workshop which looks at Object Oriented  
Technology in terms of the business problems it addresses.  The seminar will
focus upon the organization and process implications of adopting Object Oriented
Technology and its relation to existing problem solving technologies. Simple 
case studies of businesses which have used object oriented technology will be 
presented.  Various strategies for getting started along with cost and 
expected ROI will be discussed.


TARGET AUDIENCE 

Business and Program Managers who provide resources to program development 
efforts or who make decisions about which technologies will be used to solve 
business problems. Also, programmers and engineers who are interested in
understanding business considerations of Object Oriented Technology. 

PREREQUISITES 

Some experience in managing application development projects or in making 
decisions on where to invest software development resources will be helpful .      







OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING - TERMS and CONCEPTS        module 2                           1 DAY


This module is designed to develop a formal understanding of the terms and
concepts which define the Object Oriented Programming Paradigm.  These defining
features are specified and contrasted with more traditional software engineering
technologies and methods.  The "promise" of Object Oriented programming is 
discussed and evaluated.  Some of the topics discussed are:

   * What is Object Oriented Programming

             - The Popular view
             - OOP as a Paradigm
             - Revolution or Evolution

   * The Object Model

   * Defining Features of the OOP Paradigm

             - Objects
             - Encapsulation
             - Messaging
             - Methods/Operations
             - Abstraction
             - Class Hierarchies
             - Polymorphism 
             - etc.

    * Promises of the Object Oriented Paradigm

             - Code Re-use
             - Improved Maintainability
             - Improved Extensibility
             - Shorter time-to-market
