Acquire essential skills in object-oriented design, design patterns, software architecture, and service-oriented architecture. Gain practical experience and insight into creating quality software applications.
This course takes Java beginners to the next level by covering object-oriented analysis and design. You will learn how to create modular, flexible, and reusable software, and communicate these designs using Unified Modeling Language (UML).
This course extends object-oriented analysis and design by incorporating design patterns to create interactive applications. You will gain a foundation for more complex software applications and identify problematic software designs by referencing a catalog of code smells.
The course covers the representation of software architectures, common architectures, evaluation, and improvement. You will study different architectural styles, including UML representation, and the behavior of a system using UML activity diagrams.
This module covers Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), including web service architectures and the basics of Web Services (WS*) and Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture. You will learn to create a system using REST interfaces and apply microservice architecture.
