Course Goals
Use fundamental elements object-oriented modeling in UML Create ABAP Objects programs that contain all useful object-oriented programming techniques Use the relevant tools to create object-oriented Repository objects Describe and use the application areas of ABAP objects Define, raise and handle class-based exceptions Query type and class attributes at runtime

Unit1 -Objectives
Differences between procedural and object-oriented programming models List the advantages of object oriented programming model Name the important diagram types in UML Create simple class diagrams Create simple object diagrams Describe sequence diagrams Define Classes Generate and delete objects Access attributes

The object-oriented programming model : Moving from the procedural to object-oriented programming model:

Class creation/ modeling

Classes as abstraction forms

Comparison of classes and objects

Modeling with UML

Class Diagrams:
Show the classes and the relation ships between them, that is a static view of a model

Behavior diagrams
Pay particular attention to the sequence in which the objects relate to each other

Component diagrams
show the organization and dependencies of components
