Description

In this course, students will explore software design principles like S.O.L.I.D. by learning the object-oriented design patterns introduced by the Gang of Four (GoF). We will critically examine each design pattern, discussing the underlying design principles and the reasons for their necessity. Additionally, we will address the potential misuse and overuse of these patterns and principles. Students will analyze the trade-offs between different design solutions for the same problem and model software using UML diagrams.
