Description

The best-selling UML and Object-Oriented Design course on Udemy. Companion eBook included.

Explore the fundamental concepts behind modern, object-oriented software design best practices. Learn how to work with UML to approach software development more efficiently.

This course will help you become familiar with the fundamentals of object-oriented design and analysis*. I'll introduce each concept using simple terms, avoiding confusing jargon. We'll focus on the practical application, using hands-on examples you can use for reference and practice. 

(*)Many universities across the world require their students to complete this course as part of their Systems Analysis and Design curriculum.

Throughout the course, I'll walk you through several examples related to software design and UML. Plus, we'll delve into a case study to review all the steps of designing a real software system from start to finish.

What qualifies me to teach you?
I have more than 25 years of software development expertise. I've worked for companies like Apple, Siemens, and SAP.
As a software architect, I have designed and built several enterprise systems and frameworks, including core components of Siemens Healthcare's syngo image processing system. I'm one of the senior software architects behind the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS, a framework built by Apple and SAP. I currently hold twelve patents related to inventions in the field of mobile computing.

Topics include:

  • Understanding software development methodologies

  • Choosing the right methodology: Waterfall vs. Agile

  • Fundamental object-Orientation concepts: Abstraction, Polymorphism, and more

  • Collecting requirements

  • Mapping requirements to technical descriptions

  • Unified Modeling Language (UML)

  • Use case, class, sequence, activity, and state diagrams

  • Designing a Note-Taking App from scratch

You will acquire professional and technical skills, together with an understanding of object-orientation principles and concepts. After completing this course, you'll be able to understand the inner workings of object-oriented software systems. You will communicate easily and effectively with other developers using object-orientation terms and UML diagrams.

I loooove this course so much! Not only is the terminology very simple and easy to understand but including the images/pics/diagrams makes it even more understandable. Great work, will look out for more of your content/videos.

Very good for someone who is completely new to UML diagrams. I see that some people complained that you touched "off topic" subjects like development methodologies. In my opinion, that isn't off topic in this context and it helped me understand better how UML diagrams fit into the big picture of the development pipeline of an application.

A very good overview to this topic. I have taken a lot of information away which I am going to apply to my Msc degree. A foundational course which I highly recommend!

So far the instructor is conveying information very clearly and in an organized manner. I look forward to learning about UML and how it connects with OOP.

This is amazing. This guy is clear, very concise and talking extreme common sense. All courses should be like this.

It is an excellent resource to quickly catch on key UML and OO concepts. I liked the presentation style.

trying to get a more formal understanding of UML. not sure why I have to sit through development methodologies. "Single Responsibility" - stick to the topic. You may have great things to say about development methodologies, so make a separate course and link to it.

This course should be the numer 1 go-to recomendation for all begginers in the UML world. I've learned and improved much, even though I had to start from the very basics. Thanks to the wide range of knowledge, useful tips and advices (like comparing classes to pokemon) I was able to understand even the more troublesome ideas, and it's all thanks to the great, calm and wise teacher :)

Very complete curse, very well explained. After having studied it, it makes you want to continue learning. And if you are already a developer it is much easier.

This course is a great primer to get started with UML and StarUML software. Fortunately, I had prior experience with StarUML, and I do feel that if I did not have such experience, I might have had to rewatch some of the videos. It would have been nice if, instead of creating a new StarUML document for each example in the Note-Taking app, we instead created a Note Taking Model, and added new diagrams to that model to showcase how the different diagrams can work with each other. That said, I think the most value I got out of this course was the ability to reason about the functional (and non-functional) requirements of an app, convert them to epics and user stories, then go about constructing different diagrams out of those technical descriptions.

This course is very important to each developer. The tutor has explained the essential part of UML. This is enough to design software. Now I got good points from this course. So, here after I will do 'use-case, class diagram, sequence diagram(if needed)' for my upcoming works. Thank you very much.

Great crash course on UML and basic object-oriented design, with a little bit of process thrown in for good measure.
