Index

Chapter 15. Object-Oriented Design

In software development, design is often considered as the step done before programming. This isn't true; in reality, analysis, programming, and design tend to overlap, combine, and interweave. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

What object-oriented means
The difference between object-oriented design and object-oriented programming
The basic principles of object-oriented design
Basic Unified Modeling Language (UML) and when it isn't evil
