Abstract

In 1994, the Gang of Four changed the world with their book, Design Patterns. Yet nearly 20 years later, we’re still struggling with design patterns. How can this be?

The answer is that design patterns are hard. Designing reusable applications is the most challenging thing a developer can do. But there’s good news: you CAN master design patterns and use them to your advantage! This workshop will show you how.

Learn how you’re already using design patterns in your own code, how to identify design patterns in the code of others, how to use eight of the most common design patterns (with live coding demonstrations!) and the ways in which design patterns can change your applications!
