So you have some experience with Java, but you’re trying to figure out what to do next to make it easier to get your next job or consulting job and stand out from the crowd. You may have already heard about design patterns and seen that programmers who know them and can implement them are highly respected. One thing is clear – Java programmers with experience with design patterns are in high demand.
Design patterns are widely used in the real world, so it’s important that Java programmers learn how to identify design patterns and implement them.
And that’s what you’ll learn in this course!
You may have tried to learn about design patterns in the past, but struggled to understand them. This course will give you the experience you need with basic design patterns!
This course is unique compared to other courses on design patterns.
Why? It not only teaches you how to use design patterns, but perhaps more importantly, it teaches you why you should use them! Why they are the best approach and how using them can make you a super productive and awesome Java programmer.
The reality is that Java developers who really understand how to use design patterns are in high demand.
So, what exactly is included in this course?
This course focuses on the details and in-depth understanding of all the design patterns from the Gang of Four.
Who are the Gang of Four?
Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides released a book in 1994 that was and still is considered a classic. Concepts are still very relevant in 2019!
This course is dedicated to showing you how to use their design patterns in a modern software development environment.
You will learn detailed aspects of common design patterns (23 from the Gang of Four) using the Java programming language.
Why should I mess around with design patterns?
From a programming perspective, a design pattern is a solution to a common problem encountered when writing software. Think of it more as a pattern than actual code – it’s like solving a problem that can be reused in many different situations.
Using design patterns gives you the ability to solve common problems with a proven solution! Thus, learning about design patterns and Java architecture and how to use and implement them is critical to taking your Java programming to the next level.
What will you learn in this course?
You will learn how to implement certain design patterns, and you will learn why they are the best approach and how they make you a super productive and awesome Java programmer.
Many examples and problems are presented to test your understanding of each pattern you learn.
This course is unique compared to other courses here in that details and reasons are explained. We don’t just go through projects and give instructions. You will learn WHY you should use a particular design pattern and the benefits of doing so.
