Objectives
Working in a hands on environment, developers will explore key Creational, Structural and Behavior Design patterns and how they used most effectively in building robust, reusable applications. This course combines the use of hands on coding labs with several “mini projects” to be completed throughout the training to get the students using and reviewing the Patterns in a practical manner. All lab coding work and examples can be performed working in either a C++ or Java development environment, geared for each student’s specific background. Explicit labs have been designed for both backgrounds. Course examples in the Student Guide are written in Java.
The course also contains several “thinking and drawing” lab exercises as a component of the object oriented overview portion of the training course.

This comprehensive training course will begin with a review of core concepts of Object Oriented analysis & design using UML(approximately one day). Throughout the remainder of the course we will explore the following patterns, varying the levels of coverage to drill down on the most commonly used Patterns, and to simply survey others. Students will compare and contrast the patterns and explore the advantages and disadvantages of using certain patterns for explicit development functions in both the C++ and Java environments.

Prerequisites
This an basic level OO training course, designed for developers who need to identify, design, and lead the implementation of OO projects. We will explore and apply the terminology, the specification, the processes and technologies specific to OO. Attendees should be familiar with UML and have basic programming experience in either Java or C++. This course is not recommended for developers new to Java or new to C++ programming.
