Design Patterns

Brandeis University Rabb School of Continuing Studies
Waltham, Massachusetts, United States

Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' Design Patterns form an advanced area in object oriented design and architecture. Design patterns focus on solutions to problems commonly found in design of object oriented programs. This course discusses the fundamentals of the core patterns: creational, behavioral, structural, and system patterns. Students will learn how to select a design pattern appropriate for a particular design problem, and how to apply/implement this pattern in a language, such as Java or C++. We will also study the use of patterns in the Java programming language, including patterns for reflection, security, AWT/Swing, RMI, JDBC, and J2EE.

Prerequisites

Advanced Programming in Java or Advanced Programming in C++ or Object Oriented Design or equivalent.

Overview

Design patterns develop standardized solutions to problems commonly found in software development. The core design patterns are well documented in the seminal ?Gang of Four? text, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object Oriented Software? by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides. In this class, we will study each of these core patterns, that fall into the areas of creational, behavioral, structural and system patterns. We will also learn how to implement each of the patterns in a language such as Java or C++. We will determine when it is appropriate to apply each of the patterns to the design problems we may encounter.

Java programming language and Java APIs use design patterns extensively in their architecture and implementation. We will learn about the design patterns used in the area of reflection, security, AWT/Swing, RMI, JDBC, and J2EE.

Topics covered in this course include:
? Introduction to Design Patterns.
? How to Select and Use Design Patterns.
? Creational Design Patterns: Abstract Factory, Builder, Factory Method, Prototype, Singleton.
? Structural Design Patterns: Adapter, Bridge, Composite, Decorator, Facade, Flyweight, Proxy.
? Behavioral Design Patterns: Chain of Responsibility, Command, Interpreter, Iterator, Mediator, Memento, Observer, State, Strategy, Template Method, Visitor.
? System Design Patterns.
? Patterns in the Java Programming Language: Java Core APIs, Distributed Technologies, J2EE Architectures.

Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

? Design and improve design of software systems by applying knowledge of Design Patterns to commonly found design problems.
? Implement core design patterns in a programming language such as Java or C++
? Understand the use of Design Patterns in the Java programming language and Java APIs.
