Object Oriented Design
Object Oriented Design (OOD) is a software design methodology that structures programs around objects, which are instances of classes that encapsulate data (attributes) and behavior (methods). It emphasizes principles like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism to create modular, reusable, and maintainable code. This approach models real-world entities and relationships, making complex systems easier to understand and manage.
Developers should learn Object Oriented Design when building large-scale, complex applications that require scalability, maintainability, and code reuse, such as enterprise software, game development, or GUI-based systems. It is particularly useful in scenarios where modeling real-world entities (e.g., users, products, transactions) and their interactions is essential, as it reduces complexity and improves team collaboration through clear abstractions.
