Synopsis Principles of abstraction: classification, aggregation, generalisation and association. Object-oriented concepts including classes and objects, encapsulation. Approaches to object-oriented analysis: definition of classes, attributes and methods, identification of associations, aggregations, and generalisations. Steps involved in creating a design model from the analysis model. principles of object-oriented design: class responsibilities and relationships.
