- Presents a comparative approach to object-oriented programming and design.
- Discusses the concepts of object, class, meta-class, message, method, inheritance, and genericity.
- Reviews forms of polymorphism in object-oriented languages.
- Contrasts the use of inheritance and composition as dual techniques for software reuse: forwarding vs. delegation and subclassing vs. subtyping.
- Fosters a deeper understanding of the principles of object-oriented programming and design including software components, object-oriented design patterns, and the use of graphical design notations such as UML (unified modeling language).
- Basic concepts in object-oriented design are illustrated with case studies in application frameworks and by writing programs in one or more object-oriented languages.
