Reviews
Being good at problem-solving is one thing but to take your career to the next level, one must know how complex software projects are architected. Software design patterns provide templates and tricks used to design and solve recurring software problems and tasks. Applying time-tested patterns result in extensible, maintainable and flexible high-quality code, exhibiting superior craftsmanship of a software engineer. Being well-versed in knowledge of design patterns allows one to spot brittle and immature code from miles away. The course goes to great lengths to lay bare the esoteric concepts of various design patterns before the reader and is replete with real-world examples and sample code.
The readership for this course is expected to be familiar with some object orientated language. The course examples and snippets are written in the Java language but folks with experience in other OOP languages should easily be able to follow the discussion and code intent.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
