Ultimate Design Patterns Course: Learn How to Design Reusable and Extensible Object-Oriented Software

TLDRThis course teaches how to design reusable and extensible object-oriented software using design patterns. It covers important concepts such as classes, interfaces, encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism.

Key insights

🎓Design patterns are elegant solutions to repeating problems in software design.

📚The 23 design patterns covered in this course were originally documented in the book 'Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software' by Gang of Four.

💡Understanding design patterns helps in communicating with other developers at a more abstract level and designing reusable and extensible software.

Learning design patterns also helps in learning and using new frameworks faster.

Following the recommended order of the design patterns in this course helps in understanding important concepts and principles.
