Goals

Design patterns are proven solutions to software design problems that are independent of platform or language. With a knowledge of design patterns, a designer or architect can leverage the collective knowledge and expertise of the software community. This introductory course surveys design patterns that occur in many areas of software development so that students can attain an appreciation of what design patterns are, and how to use them effectively on their development projects.

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

• Explain the role and value of patterns

• Explain how design patterns provide value to software development.

• Discuss the occurrence of design patterns, and  when to use each pattern.

• Explain critically important design principles from Martin, Meyer and others.
