Design Patterns (GoF) for Java

• Experience with Java programming
• Understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts
• Basic knowledge of software architecture principles

Audience

• Java developers looking to enhance their design skills
• Software architects designing scalable applications
• Technical leads aiming to improve code maintainability and efficiency

Design Patterns (GoF) for Java is a structured approach to solving recurring software design problems using well-established patterns proposed by the Gang of Four (GoF).

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level Java developers who wish to apply design patterns to improve software structure, maintainability, and scalability.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the purpose and benefits of design patterns.
• Apply Creational, Structural, and Behavioral patterns effectively in Java.
• Improve code reusability, scalability, and maintainability.
• Refactor existing codebases using design patterns.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
