What does this workshop cover?

In this accelerated, five-day course, you will learn most of the design patterns presented in the course textbook, "Design Patterns" (published by Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-63361-2, authored by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides).

For each of the patterns presented in the course, you will become familiar with one or more UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagram(s) depicting the design, the implementation of the design in C++, and a cataloging scheme for the pattern.

When you complete this course, you will be able to apply these patterns in solving your object-oriented designs.

Approximately 40% of this course is devoted to programming assignments. Each student receives a student course manual, the course textbook, and complete source code solutions to the labs.

This workshop is also available using Java as the implementation language, rather than C++. See our Design Patterns Workshop (in Java) course description for more information.

What are design patterns?

Patterns are a recent software engineering problem-solving discipline that emerged from the object-oriented community. Patterns have roots in many disciplines, including literate programming, and most notably in Alexander's work on urban planning and building architecture. (Alexander, 1977).

Software patterns first became popular with the object-oriented Design Patterns book (Gamma et. al., 1995). But patterns have been used for domains as diverse as development organization and process, exposition and teaching, and software architecture. At this writing, the software community is using patterns largely for software architecture and design. (James O. Coplien, 1995)

Understanding and being able to apply "Design Patterns" is critical for developers, designers, and architects who need to design re-usable, maintainable, and flexible object-oriented software.

For a good overview of design patterns, see the "Design Patterns" homepage. Gaining an expert understanding of these techniques gives you a real competitive advantage.

What will I learn?

The following design patterns are presented:

• Model-View Controller
• The Clone Idiom
• Prototype
• Factory
• Singleton
• Abstract Factory
• Bridge
• Proxy
• Iterator
• Composite
• Flyweight
• Interpreter
• Visitor
• Chain of Responsibility
• Memento
• Command
• All of Me
• State
• Decorator
• Observer
• Adapter
• Facade
• Template
• Mediator
• Strategy

Who should attend?

• Developers who wish to design object-oriented software.
• Managers who have a strong programming background and will be managing the design and implementation of an object-oriented system

Those without object-oriented and C++ experience should consider our 5-day C++ Programming Language workshop.

What is a Targeted Needs Assessment?

Do you have specific issues unique to your business -- special application development or technology selection problems? Our targeted needs assessment lets us tailor this general workshop to include real-life examples from your business. Why settle for a general workshop when you can have a targeted one? Please call for details.
