In the Design Patterns Thinking course, participants learned to use design patterns to support agile development. Advanced Software Design will take you a step further by introducing additional principles, patterns, and qualities, as well as extensive design exercises which build on the knowledge and experience from the previous course.
New patterns covered
This two-day course (14 PDUs) discusses patterns as forces, enabling them to be used even when the classic context for the pattern does not exist.
