However, object-orientation itself is not a language; it’s simply a set of ideas and concepts. Let Simon Allardice introduce you to the terms—words like abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, subclass—and guide you through defining your requirements and identifying use cases for your program. The course also covers creating conceptual models of your program with design patterns, class and sequence diagrams, and unified modeling language (UML) tools, and then shows how to convert the diagrams into code. duration: 3h 1m     AutoCAD Essentials 2: Drawing Fundamentals with: Jeff Bartels   AutoCAD Essentials is a multi-part series that takes a more modular approach to this massive program, used for everything from 2D and 3D CAD design, drafting, and modeling to architectural drawing and engineering projects.

The last chapter in the course tests your newfound skills in a short project. duration: 1h 56m     Editing Video in Photoshop CS6 with: Richard Harrington   With the release of Photoshop CS6, Adobe introduced the ability to edit video footage.

The course also covers how Photoshop's strongest feature, its image enhancement toolset, translates to video, from fixing under- or overexposed footage, performing color balancing, and adding vibrance and contrast to special effects, such as converting to black and white and using Smart Filters to soften skin. duration: 1h 55m     Photoshop CS6 for Photographers: Camera Raw 7 with: Chris Orwig   This course provides in-depth training on Camera Raw 7, the Photoshop CS6 component that enables photographers to open and manipulate raw format images. Raw images are minimally processed in the camera; they’re effectively the exact data recorded by the camera’s sensor. Author Chris Orwig shows you how to control a raw image's appearance—exposure, shadow and highlight detail, color balance, and sharpness—with far more precision than is possible with JPEG images. The course also introduces the new workflow procedures and technical concepts and issues associated with raw content, so that photographers can best leverage this powerful format. duration: 6h 16m     Add a Wraparound Effect for a Marquee with jQuery with: Chris Converse   Join Chris Converse as he teaches how to add a wraparound effect to your homepage marquee with a concise bit of jQuery code.
