Blogging Ottinger (tim)Teaching OOD Class in Chicago
I am pleased to be the instructor for the next Object Mentor 4-day Advanced OOD class on November 8th in Gurnee, IL.
I like this class. It is all built on design principles, and not any specific programming language. On the first day we teach some basic UML, and basic OOD principles. There is a good dosage of hands-on collaborative work in UML. It is appropriate for relative novices in the early days, but the material becomes a bit more heady (”Advanced”) somewhere in the 3rd day.
The most exciting part is the collaborative, hands-on exercises Students team up solve (at least partly solve) problems together using Object-Oriented Design principles, newly-learned design patterns, and basic UML.
This is my first public class with Object Mentor, and my first at the Gurnee facility. I’m looking forward to having more personal interaction with students, as well as hearing different viewpoints and perspectives of people working in different industries.
