Head First OOAD
Presented by David West
In software development we talk a lot about “stuff”. We talk about requirements, analysis, testing, software configuration management, architecture and lots of other things often forgetting that our job is to write great code. The agile development movement has reminded us of the fact – focusing not on ancillary tasks, but instead, the development of code. Every developer knows that OOAD, if done right helps us to build great software. This presentation will focus on writing great software and how OOAD can be applied in an agile manner. It will introduce this three step program to great software:
-
Making sure your software does what the customer wants
-
Aplying basic OO principles to add flexibility
-
Striving for a maintainable and re-usable design
This presentation is based on the book ‘Head First OOAD’ and the author’s experiences in delivering process support to architecture and design practices with real world examples.
