Description
Summary:Object-oriented (OO) software development techniques have gained in popularity as an attractive alternative to the traditional, structured development approach. Fundamental to the OO approach is the object, which bundles data with associated operations in a self-contained unit. The inherently modular object provides an excellent mechanism for creating reusable, stable, and easily maintainable code. In this paper, we present an introduction to OO development; discuss the challenges of large, complex systems; and document the procedures we developed to meet these challenges for our project.
