Concepts of Object-Oriented Programming

• Defining object-oriented programming
• Pitfalls of traditional (procedural) programming
• Major features of object-oriented programming

Principles of Object-Oriented Programming

• Abstraction
• Encapsulation
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism

Making the Paradigm Shift

• Defining the object
• Certain problems in action-oriented approach
• Object-oriented thinking

What is Abstraction?

• Defining abstraction
• The importance of good abstraction
• Implementing data abstraction

What is Encapsulation?

• Defining encapsulation
• The importance of encapsulation
• Implementing encapsulation

Classes and Objects

• Defining the class
• Class vs. object
• Building a class

Relations among Classes

• The need for class relations
• Finding class relations
• Building class relations

What is Inheritance?

• Defining inheritance
• The importance of inheritance
• Abstract class, concrete class, and interface
• Method overloading

Applying Inheritance

• Finding "is a" relationship
• A review of abstraction
• Building class hierarchy

What is Polymorphism?

• Defining polymorphism
• Method overriding
• Abstract methods

Applying Polymorphism

• Preliminary design, design & redesign
• Go after polymorphism
• Overloading vs. overriding

Aggregation

• Big objects are composed of smaller objects
• Making use of aggregation

Friend Classes

• Defining "friendship"
• Making use of the friendship

Nested Classes

• Defining nested classes
• Making use of nested classes
