The Object-Oriented Design and Programming in LabVIEW Course covers the fundamental concepts of object-oriented design and programming and then demonstrates how those concepts are implemented in LabVIEW. Object-oriented design (OOD) encourages cleaner interfaces between sections of code and results in code that is easier to debug and scales better for large programming teams. Object-oriented programming is the development of code in a language that enforces object-oriented design principles.

| Lesson | Overview | Topics |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | Given a development project, the learner will be able to determine if an object-oriented approach should be used for designing and implementing the application. |
|
| Designing an Object-Oriented Application | Given a development project, you will learn how to derive a class hierarchy for the application using object-oriented design principles. |
|
| Object-Oriented Programming in LabVIEW | Given a development project and a class hierarchy, you will learn how to develop and use classes in LabVIEW that are readable, scalable, maintainable, and reusable. |
|
| Object-Oriented Tools and Design Patterns | Given a development project and a class hierarchy, you will learn how to develop an object-oriented LabVIEW application that leverages one or more existing tools or design patterns. |
|
| Reviewing an Object-Oriented Application | Given a completed LabVIEW application, you will learn how to review, refactor, and deploy the code using good object-oriented design and programming practices. |
