SUMMARY:   Object orientation is an important programming paradigm. It is a fundamentally new way to design computer programs based on objects and an event driven mechanism. Starting with the Object Basics, then covering UML Basics, an industry standard for describing systems, next is Object Oriented Patterns, patterns are common system designs, then Object Oriented Project Management, and finally Enterprise Object Orientation. AUDIENCE:   Developers considering development in an Object Oriented environment should attend this course prior to attending Java, Visual Basic, or C++.
