ABOUT THIS COURSE
Software design patterns are a valuable tool in any software developer's skill set. However, most design patterns are described in the context of an object-oriented programming language such as C++ or Java. The C language is sadly absent in the pattern literature. This course is here to change that by demonstrating that it is possible to use patterns in C programs and how it adds benefits to C programmers. You will learn why design patterns are more of a communication tool than technical solutions, and how patterns let you build and share a common vocabulary that simplifies communication.
The course presents a number of patterns and explains how to implement them in C. Each pattern is introduced via the problem it solves and the domains where the pattern can be used. We also discuss the underlying design principles as well as the trade-offs when applying the pattern. Finally, the course covers a set of coding idioms that will guide you when applying design patterns in C.
