Static Attributes And Methods In Object-Oriented Design

In this episode, we look at how to use static attributes and methods in our class design. These are important but can be over-used. They can even be a supported way to break the…

Software Design – Finding Balance With Coupling And Cohesion

We have spent a few episodes looking at cohesion and coupling. Now it is time to find balance in these two software design approaches. Each approach has strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, our best approach…

Coupling – A Smaller Object Approach To Software Solutions

In object-oriented software, we talk about the concept of coupling. Put simply; this is a small object approach to our solution. It is the opposite end of the spectrum from large-object, or monolithic, designs. …

Cohesion – A Big Object Approach To Design

This episode focuses on cohesion and the idea of using fewer large objects to solve a problem. This approach is often considered the opposite of using more smaller objects. We will find out that…

Cohesion and Coupling in Object-Oriented Design

Cohesion and coupling are options that are often discussed in object-oriented design circles. They are two ways to approach a solution. On the one hand, the solution can be a larger, self-contained approach. On…

Class Relationships – When Has-A Shows a Relation

Our language can blur the distinctions of class relationships in designing our solution. The “has-a” determination is often confused by how the English language can translate those words. We also have to keep a…

Inheritance – Polymorphism In A Hierarchical Manner

We switch gears in this episode and start to look at inheritance. This is a core feature of object-oriented design and the most recognizable attribute. Child classes are utilized through polymorphic support. Thus, we…
