Design Patterns
14 HoursThere is a wealth of proven patterns readily accessible to everyone. Often, the process involves adapting the terminology and implementing these patterns within a specific technology stack. This approach can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be dedicated to design and testing phases. Training Goals This course has two primary objectives: first, it enables you to leverage widely recognized patterns, and second, it empowers you to create and reuse patterns tailored to your organization. It assists you in estimating how patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process, and generate a code framework based on your patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers and developers as well as operational managers and software division managers. Course Style The course focuses on use cases and their relationship with a specific pattern. Most of the examples are explained in UML and in simple Java examples (the language can change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns as well as showing you how to catalogue and describe patterns which can be reused across your organization.
