This long lecture note on Java
gives an introduction to object-oriented programming concepts using the Java
Programming Language. Starting from the very basics of Java and how to set up
the environment, to basic syntax and data types, the note then covers the
necessary operators, control structures, decision-making constructs, and goes
further to give a comprehensive string handling. This resource outlines some of
the fundamental object-oriented principles, such as classes, objects, methods,
and modifiers, while also covering more advanced topics like inheritance,
polymorphism, abstraction, and encapsulation. It further elaborates on packages,
interfaces, input/output operations, exception handling, and multithreading. The
note, therefore, with its broad scope and practical examples, is intended for
use by students and professionals who would like to learn the OOP capabilities
of Java and how to apply them.
This note provides a broad coverage of
object-oriented design and modeling, ranging from basic concepts of modeling to
class and state modeling techniques, from basic to advanced. Finally,
interaction modeling is dealt with-a very important aspect in the design and
analysis of interactions of a system. Other key areas of discussion are process
overview, system conception, domain analysis, application analysis, system
design, class design, and implementation modeling. Legal systems and design
patterns conclude most discussions in the document to give an all-rounded
outlook on OOD and its application in many contexts.
This PDF focuses on the methodologies and techniques of
object-oriented analysis and design. It starts with the basic overview of object
orientation and system development. After that, it goes into details about
various object relationships and dynamic binding. The key OOAD methodologies
include a discussion on the Rambaugh methodology, OMT-Booch, Jacobson, and the
Unified Approach. This paper further goes in-depth with UML by elaborating on
class diagrams and dynamic modeling. The development process, which is described
in this outline, includes phases like inception and elaboration. Additional
topics include design axioms, class visibility, and methods. Other topics
include OODBMS and interaction diagrams. This will be helpful for students and
professionals alike in learning about the different methodologies of OOAD and
how these are applied practically to the design of systems.
