Eiffel Training

Hands On O-O Development Using Eiffel

This hands-on course is intended for programmers, designers and analysts who need to build high-quality software; it explores techniques of object-oriented software construction.

The course is also appropriate for technically oriented managers with some programming experience. Some knowledge of object-oriented concepts as laid out in Object-Oriented Software Construction (second edition) would be helpful, but is not required.

The goal of this course is to focus on improving software economics by helping attendees learn to build better quality software and as a consequence, reuse more of what they build. This goal is achieved through the use of Eiffel, the most effective object-oriented methods, tools, and techniques available. Attendees will leave the course with the basic skills required to start developing Eiffel projects. The course features numerous design and implementation exercises.

The course is set-up so that each participant gets individual attention.
