Presentation of the design function

• Review of the basic notions of OO and UML programming. UML notation diagrams. Its advantages for design.
• The challenges for the design: increasing re-use without restraining enhancements.
• Re-use through inheritance: advantages and disadvantages.

2

The basic principles in object design

• The evolution strategy with the Open/Closed Principle (OCP).
• Effective re-use through inheritance and interfaces: the Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP)
• The concept of polymorphism.
• The impact of object design on project life cycles.

3

The principles for organisation into packages

• The package as a design unit with the Reuse/Release Equivalency Principle (REP) and the Common Reuse Principle (CRP).
• Dividing up packages thanks to the Common Closure Principle (CCP).
• Organisation between packages: Acyclic Dependencies Principle (ADP) and Stable Dependencies Principle (SDP).

4

The principles for constructing classes

• Managing dependencies logically with the Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP).
• Reducing noticeable complexity with the Interface Segregation Principle (ISP).
• Allocating responsibilities with the GRASP principle.

5

The principles of design patterns

• The technical principles of designing an object application.
• How to re-use experience when designing and developing object applications: design patterns as software solutions.
• The origins and scope of the patterns.
• The advantages and limitations of design patterns.
• Design patterns as a response to technical problems.
• Resolving recurrent problems and ensuring a long life for developments.

Gamma and GoF: the founding principles

• The pattern catalogue of the "gang of four".
• The objectives and advantages.
• Isolating the creation of objects from their use with creational patterns for objects: factory, singleton and prototype.
• Refining the assignment of responsibilities through behavioural patterns: chain of responsibility, method pattern and ob
• Improving the structuring of classes with structure patterns: adapter, facade and composite.
