The Strategy Design Pattern encapsulates an abstract behavior to which the client delegates a specific task.

Illustrates and explains the workings of the template design pattern.
In Java, besides having fields and methods, a class can also have other classes as members. Just like fields and methods, a class member of can be static or non-static. A non-static class member is...

The Marine Biology Simulation is designed as a final project in an objects-first CS2 course. It provides an entertaining setting that serves as compelling example of the powers of objectoriented...
A short tutorial on using UML diagrams, particularly class diagrams, in object-oriented design.
Abstract thinking is difficult for many students to learn, but is a crucial component for learning computer science. We developed and implemented an OOP-first that not only teaches fundamental CS...
Union Design Pattern: Inheritance and Polymorphism (2008)
The union design pattern is a structural pattern that depicts the inheritance relationship between a superclass and its subclasses. The superclass is an abstract representation of the union of all...
List Structure and the Composite Design Pattern (2007)
In programming, it is often necessary to have objects with which one can store data, retrieve data when needed, and remove data when no longer needed. Such objects are instances of what we call...
StarUML is a tool to create class diagrams and other types of diagrams in the Unified Modeling Language (UML). This module is a short tutorial on using StarUML to create class diagrams in Java.
Composite Design Pattern (2007)
The Composite Design Pattern is an object-oriented representation of a recursive data structure.
An introduction to the concepts of objects and classes
Programming is managing complexity. The computer scientist uses abstraction as a tool for managing complexity.
This module is a placeholder for modules that are under construction and not yet published. Any links to this module should be replaced when the desired module is published.
The Union Design Pattern represents the abstraction of two or more (more) concrete representations. This representation of an abstraction is a fundamental concept in object-oriented design. The...
Relationships between objects can be classified as either "is-a" (inheritance) or "has-a" (composition). These two relationships enable the OO software designer to create abstract models of the...
