performance objectives

Object orientation has become the predominant paradigm for virtually all modern software development. OO brings significant benefits to software development, but also incorporates new concepts, new approaches to development, and an entirely new vocabulary. This course introduces software professionals to the world of object orientation in a practical, tangible way that builds on their existing knowledge and skill sets.
