Repository over view

This course exposes you to a very rich github code repository which has around 50 different working code projects. Code is organized in separate branches, which means all code related to singleton design pattern is in single-pattern branch and all code related observer pattern is observer-pattern branch. Each branch has related diagrams in the branch. The commit history also helps you evovle the code. You are supposed to clone or download the code base and exectue it locally or play with it for deeper learning. You can own the repo by forking it and modify code as much as you want. Remember the rule, more you code better you learn ;-)

This repository has several branches and each branch contains code of a design pattern. https://github.com/premaseem/DesignPatternsJava9/tree/pattern-name

Example:

To look at code of Decorator pattern you might have to switch to branch decorator pattern link: https://github.com/premaseem/DesignPatternsJava9/tree/decorator-pattern

Course Overview:

Learn and master common design patterns in Java , and become an efficient programmer. In this course, you will start by exploring the benefits of using design patterns for developers in their regular development environment. You will move on to see which design patterns are suited for which circumstances. You will see the different categories to which the Design Patterns belong. Throughout this course, each type of Design Pattern will be accompanied by a practical example and information on when to use a given Design Pattern. You will also be shown scenarios in which specific Design Patterns are to be avoided. In the end, you will learn how to overcome any issues that may be encountered while using design patterns initially.

Who this course is for:

This course is for those programmers/developers who have a basic knowledge of OOPs (preferably in Java) and are looking to refine their code through design patterns in their day to day coding practice.

What you will learn from this course:

Understanding complex coding issues in easy-to-understand code examples
Brain-friendly examples with real-life analogies
Practical coding examples for practice and ease of understanding
Mini projects as assignments to ensure that you are able to apply design patterns
Practical guide for design patterns (not boring theory but 100% practical coding as a reference guide )
Will help you develop good coding habits.
Understand complex designs and architecture effortlessly.
Develop non-cluttered reusable code with industry standard proven solutions documented in design patterns.
