	use appropriate techniques to determine that the right problem is addressed;
	use different formal techniques to capture the attributes of the problem;
	use techniques to perform problem analysis;
	develop alternative potential solutions;
	document the problem solving process.

Elements of System Development [E3]

This half-day seminar introduces the necessary techniques and skills required to define a baseline strategy for solving a 'problem' or achieving objectives. Like porblem definition, this, often overlooked. Go to Elements of Systems Development for more details.

Moving to Objects[E3]

This half-day seminar discusses the differences between current (traditional) software development methods and object-oriented development methods. This seminar provides insights of how an organization can move to an object-oriented approach.

Discussion topics include:

	why we must change the software development approach;
	basic OO concepts and how they relate to current concepts;
	dealing with the change managementaspects of introducing new techniques and technologies;
	types of training that are necessary.

Objects in Action [E5]

This half-day seminar provides a quick overview to object-oriented concepts in a practical manner. This overview includes:

	the differences between a 'data-centric' and 'object-centric' view;
	advantages of the object-view;
	a demonstration of an implementation of objects (a real working program fragment using Smalltalk).

At the end of the seminar the student will:

	have an appreciation for objects and how the OO technique differs from current (traditional) techniques;
	understand many of the basic concepts of OO techniques.
