Software Design Patterns

By attending Software Design Patterns workshop, delegates will learn to:

• Describe the purpose of Software Design Patterns
• Understand the ways that Software Design Patterns are documented and classified
• Use the Singleton Pattern to provide controlled access to the sole instance of a class
• Use the Composite Pattern to represent whole-part hierarchies of objects
• Use the Factory Method Pattern to eliminate the need to ‘hard-code’ specific class names
• Use the Observer Pattern to minimize coupling between domain and interface objects
• Use the Template Method Pattern to implement the common parts of an operation
• Use the Strategy Pattern to configure a class with one of many alternate behaviors
• Use the Iterator Pattern to separate the traversal mechanism from an aggregate object and to support concurrent traversals on the same object
• Use other creational patterns to help make systems independent of how its objects are created
• Use other structural patterns to compose classes and objects into larger structures
• Use other behavioral pattern to manage algorithms and assign responsibilities to objects

• Programming experience in Java or C++ and some familiarity with object-oriented concepts is required.

This Software Design Patterns class is for system architects, designers and programmers working on or preparing for a software project using an object-oriented design.
