Course Objectives | The goal of this course to arm the students with the knowledge needed in architecting effective and maintainable complex software systems of high quality by applying design patterns. Each pattern represents a best practice solution to a software problem in some context. The course will sensitize the student that there is rarely one "right" design and an engineer is faced with a spectrum of possibilities representing tradeoffs. The course will cover the rationale and benefits of design patterns in architecting software systems. The course includes a brief review of object-oriented design principles and UML. Programming assignments and a project in the Java language will provide experience in the use of these patterns. |
