Advanced Object-Oriented Analysis & Design With UML and Patterns (Design Patterns) Course

This advanced Object-Oriented course provides software architects and designers with skills to create high quality object-oriented designs exhibiting improved flexibility, reduced maintenance costs, and with increased understanding of the resulting code. Participants learn more than 30 object-oriented patterns, including the 23 micro-architectures in "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software", by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides (the gang-of-four, or GoF book). Application examples and code snippets are provided to illustrate the patterns and the rationale for using that pattern in a given situation.

This course is designed for Software architects and designers requiring advanced design skills.

Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
> Recognize the importance of patterns
> Identify the most common patterns
> Apply patterns to object-oriented designs
