The course Software Design presents and discusses design patterns regularly used to solve problems in object oriented design and object oriented programming. The presented patterns are illustrated with examples from the Java libraries and are applied in a project.
Objective
The students - know the principles of object oriented programming and can apply these. - know the most important object oriented design patterns. - can apply design patterns to solve design problems. - discover in a given design the use of design patterns.
Content
This course makes an introduction to object oriented programming. As programming language Java is used. The focus of this course however is object oriented design, in particular design patterns. Design patterns are solutions to recurring design problems. The discussed patterns are illustrated with examples from the Java libraries and are applied in the context of a project.
