Foundations

Course Overview & Rules

Course regulations, grading criteria, mini-projects, final project specification, and recommended development environments.

Object-Oriented Modeling

01

Classes in OOP

Classes vs. objects, class extents, extent persistence, simple, complex, and optional attributes in Java.
02

Classes in OOP (Part 2)

Multi-valued attributes, class attributes, derived attributes, and class methods in object systems.
03

Classes in OOP (Part 3)

Encapsulation, access modifiers, method overloading, overriding, and object identity.

Associations & Links

04

Associations in OOP

Binary associations, multiplicity constraints (1..1, 1..*, *..*), navigation, and bidirectional link management.
05

Associations in OOP (Part 2)

Associations with attributes, qualified associations, composition vs. aggregation, and recursive associations.

Inheritance & UML

06

Inheritance in OOP

Generalization hierarchies, abstract classes, polymorphism, interface inheritance, and multi-inheritance workarounds.
07

Inheritance in OOP (Part 2)

Overlapping inheritance, dynamic inheritance, multi-aspect inheritance, and structural design patterns.
08

Advanced UML Constructs

UML constraints: {ordered}, {bag}, {xor}, {subset}, and business rule implementation in code.

Persistence & Relational

09

Relational Model in OOP

Relational vs. object paradigms, impedance mismatch, table representations of classes, and primary/foreign keys.
10

Relational Model in OOP (Part 2)

Mapping complex and multi-valued attributes to relational database tables and normalization.
11

Relational Model in OOP (Part 3)

Mapping associations (1..1, 1..*, *..*) and association classes to relational foreign keys and join tables.
12

Relational Model in OOP (Part 4)

Mapping inheritance strategies: Table per Hierarchy, Table per Concrete Class, Table per Subclass, and ORM frameworks (Hibernate / JPA).

GUI & Usability

13

GUI Usability & Testing

Principles of user interface usability, Jakob Nielsen heuristics, cognitive load, user testing, and evaluation metrics.
14

GUI Architecture & Design

Designing desktop and web graphical interfaces, layout managers, declarative UI, MVC/MVP patterns, and dialog flow.
15

GUI Implementation & Logic

Step-by-step implementation of interactive Java GUI windows, event listeners, extent data binding, and video demonstrations.
