What You'll Learn

Identify creational, structural, and behavioral patterns and match them to recurring OOP design problems
Implement the Builder pattern in Java using builders and a Director to construct complex objects
Implement thread-safe Singleton variants in Java, including synchronized access and double-checked locking
Apply Prototype cloning in Java and distinguish shallow vs deep copies for correct object duplication
Design Factory Method and Abstract Factory solutions to create extensible families of related objects
Apply structural patterns (Adapter, Bridge, Composite, Decorator, Facade, Flyweight, Proxy) to reduce coupling
Implement behavioral patterns (CoR, Observer, Command, Iterator, Mediator, Memento, State, Template, Strategy, Visitor)

About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

Being good at problem-solving is one thing but to take your career to the next level, one must know how complex software projects are architected. Software design patterns provide templates and tricks used to design and solve recurring software problems and tasks. Applying time-tested patterns result in extensible, maintainable and flexible high-quality code, exhibiting superior craftsmanship of a software engineer. Being well-versed in knowledge of design patterns allows one to spot brittle and immature code from miles away. The course goes to great lengths to lay bare the esoteric concepts of various design patterns before the reader and is replete with real-world examples and sample code. The readership for this course is expected to be familiar with some object orientated language. The course examples and snippets are written in the Java language but folks with experience in other OOP languages should easily be able to follow the discussion and code intent.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
