Java Design Patterns & SOLID Design Principles

🎓 Course Overview:

This comprehensive course is dedicated to mastering the SOLID Design Principles and exploring 26 design patterns, spanning Creational, Structural, and Behavioral categories. The course is structured for both beginners and experienced developers, as well as software designers and architects who aim to enhance their understanding of design principles and patterns.

SOLID Design Principles:

• Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)
• Open-Closed Principle (OCP)
• Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP)
• Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)
• Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)

Creational Design Patterns:

• Simple Factory
• Abstract Factory
• Factory Method
• Singleton
• Builder
• Prototype
• Object Pool

Structural Design Patterns:

• Object Adapter
• Class Adapter
• Decorator
• Bridge
• Facade
• Static Proxy
• Dynamic Proxy
• Flyweight
• Composite

Behavioral Design Patterns:

• Chain of Responsibility
• Command
• Interpreter
• Mediator
• Iterator
• Memento
• Observer
• State
• Strategy
• Template Method
• Visitor
• Null Object

Course Structure:

The course focuses on live coding with theoretical explanations, followed by UML and slides for a comprehensive understanding. Each design pattern is covered in depth with separate lectures:

1. Introduction - An overview of the design pattern, problem it solves, and a formal UML diagram.
2. Implementation Steps - Guidance on implementing the pattern in Java.
3. Example UML - The UML diagram for the implementation problem we're addressing.
4. Implementation - A live coding session to implement the design pattern in Java using Eclipse IDE.
5. Implementation & Design Considerations - Insights on performance, design variations, and practical advice on using the pattern.
6. Real World Example - Examples of how the pattern is used in real-life Java applications or frameworks like Spring or JSF.
7. Comparison with Similar Pattern - Understanding the differences between this pattern and similar ones.
8. Pitfalls - Discussion on common mistakes and issues associated with the design pattern.
9. Summary - A concise summary of all aspects of the design pattern.

What You'll Get:

• Complete code samples from hands-on lectures to follow along or study later.
• PDF slides and UML diagrams for each design pattern, offering a quick reference for the structure and roles.
• A comprehensive PDF guide with all design pattern summaries, code samples, and UML diagrams.

Who Should Take This Course?

This course is suitable for:

• Beginner developers who want to start learning about design patterns and principles.
• Experienced developers looking to deepen their understanding or fill gaps in their knowledge.
• Software designers and architects aiming to incorporate best practices into their projects.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of design patterns, equipping you with the skills to apply these principles effectively in your own software development endeavors.
