Object-Oriented Analysis and Design is a course that presents an introduction to the design and construction of software systems using techniques that view a system as a set of objects that work ...

Design patterns constitute a fundamental component in the architecture of software systems, providing standardised and reusable solutions to recurring design challenges. Originating from seminal works ...

Here on Hackaday, we’re generally designers of hacks that live in the real world. Nevertheless, I’m convinced that some of the most interesting feats are at the mercy of what’s possible in software, ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

When building applications, you often come across objects that are quite expensive to create. In some scenarios, the cost of creating new objects is high enough to impact application performance. Here ...

Porting procedural code, such as C, to an object-oriented framework can be overwhelming to architects new to object-oriented design. However, once you’ve completed the move, you can take advantage of ...

On a couple of occasions I've used Reflection to load classes at runtime rather than add references to those classes at design time. I won't say that it's made my applications easier to deploy, but I ...

If Java is truly to replace COBOL as an enterprise-wide standard, then it needs to be as easy to write as COBOL and as fast a C++ at runtime. In my experience with all of these implementations, I have ...

The cost/performance ratio of FPGAs has dramatically improved over the past ten years while ASICs have grown to large system-on-chip designs. The electronic design automation industry has evolved ...
