Introduction to Object-Oriented Concepts and Design

This module will introduce the core concepts of Object-Oriented Programming, and will briefly contrast a procedural, structured, programming approach with an object-oriented approach.

Object-Oriented Concepts

This module will delve more deeply into object-orientation, discussing classes, objects, encapsulation, messaging, inheritance, polymorphism, and other relationships.

Visual Modeling with UML

This module gives an overview of UML, and looks more closely at the UML Class Diagram, which is used in many LearnQuest courses.
