Universidad de Palermo via Coursera

Overview

If you have basic knowledge of Java and want to delve into the world of object-oriented programming, this course is for you. In four weeks, you will start with the fundamental concepts of object orientation to advance towards more advanced concepts. You will immerse yourself in the world of object-oriented design. Through this course, you will learn how to apply these concepts in your Java programs, translate them into code and make the most of the tools provided by the language.

Syllabus

  • The fundamental concepts of OOP
    • In this first week, we will delve into the fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming. It's important to note that these concepts will recur in the following weeks, so take that into account.
  • Relationships between objects
    • This week we will begin to define the responsibilities of classes, how they affect the relationships between objects, and the strength of the relationships. We will also learn how to create objects in different ways and how they can react depending on the stimulus given to them.
  • Inheritance
    • In this third week, we will dive into one of the most important topics in OOP: inheritance. We will analyze its usefulness, its implications, and its limitations.
  • Inheritance and polimorfism
    • This week we will explore some advanced concepts, such as abstract classes and polymorphism. We will delve into their practical use in code and go through some scenarios where they can be beneficial. Finally, we will have a brief introduction to advanced object-oriented design.
