Object-Oriented Programming with Java

Universidad de Palermo concentrates on how objects relate to one another. Foundational OOP concepts lead into inheritance and polymorphism over an estimated eleven hours. This is a focused design continuation rather than a broad introduction to every Java feature.

What you will learn

• Describe an object’s responsibilities and relationships.
• Model shared behavior through inheritance where appropriate.
• Use polymorphism to vary behavior behind a common type.

Who this suits

Learners with basic Java knowledge who want stronger object-oriented reasoning.

Before you enroll

Basic Java is an explicit requirement. Compare inheritance with composition during practice instead of assuming every relationship belongs in a class hierarchy.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Tool subscriptions, model API usage and cloud services may cost extra.

Put it into practice

Model several shipping options for a fictional order. Compare an inheritance-based design with composed policy objects and explain which changes each handles well.
