Course Overview

Software engineering researchers and practitioners noticed that parts of software projects could often be solved using approaches that were discovered earlier to solve similar problems. This led to the documentation of software design and architectural patterns, which are known solution approaches to a class of problems. This course starts by putting software patterns into perspective by answering the question, “What is a software pattern, and how is it different from an algorithm?” You will then learn ab...Show More
