Overview
This course explores proven real-world techniques to meet the biggest challenge in the software
development community - building quality systems which fulfill your requirements, and delivering them
on time. The focus of the course is to give you the practical skills that are most critical in building well
designed software systems. It is extremely hands-on and applied, as well as giving you the formal
knowledge you need to be fully conversant in this important area. This course explores the most
common object-oriented design patterns (Gang of Four) and how to use these patterns to develop solid,
robust, and reusable software development applications. The course covers the patterns in the three core
areas of Creational, Structural, and Behavioral and is hands-on with design projects and programming
labs.
Audience
Application developers, programmers, system designers, and project manager developers
who need to improve the systems development through the use of design patterns.
Prerequisites
Some experience in object-oriented thinking/programming, professional experience with
object-oriented technologies and UML diagrams, and a basic knowledge of Java.
Course duration
2 Days
