OOP

Unit 15 - Object Oriented Programming
Unit Descriptor

Object oriented programming is an industry-proven method for developing reliable modular programs
and is popular in software engineering. Consistent use of object oriented techniques can lead to shorter
development life cycles, increased productivity and lower the cost of producing and maintaining systems.
Programming with objects simplifies the task of creating and maintaining complex applications. Object oriented
programming is a way of modelling software that maps programming code to the real world.
This unit enables learners to become familiar with the underpinning concepts of object oriented programming
and subsequently to develop particular skills in an object oriented language. The unit starts by looking at the
features of object oriented programming, explores the tools and techniques used in their development and
takes learners through design and software development. Learners will use a structured approach to the
design and development of applications, ensuring the solution is well documented and tested thoroughly
against the original user requirement.
Object orientation is now the cornerstone of many languages; it is dominant in C++, Java, the
Microsoft.Net environment and many other systems.
