About this Presentation

This class goes underneath design patterns to understand the principles behind the patterns. Patterns are a manifestation of 3 principles:

  • Find what varies and encapsulate it
  • Design to public methods
  • Prefer delegation over inheritance

This session describes how to think in terms of the principles of patterns to be able to discover patterns in your designs and to create new quality designs when patterns aren’t present.

After presenting the fundamental lessons of design patterns the class proceeds into how patterns can be used both in an upfront manner or in an agile manner. The tutorial continues by comparing and contrasting seemingly different design methods:

  • test driven development
  • pattern oriented design
  • refactoring from poor designs
  • commonality variability analysis
  • designs based on code qualities with standard object-oriented approaches
