This course, part of the Software Development MicroMasters program, will dig deep into the principles of object-oriented design, and introduce new abstraction techniques and design patterns. You will use these techniques to build an application that makes use of popular online services and APIs – the most complex software design project so far.
Learners who enroll in the Verified track will receive staff grading for the course project and increased interaction with the instructors and staff.

What you'll learn:

  • How to read and use software design patterns
  • To implement and test an object-oriented design
  • How to develop an application using online services and APIs
