TOP REVIEWS FROM DESIGN PATTERNS
good but needed more practical explanations for design patterns , most of the course listing and explaining in general about different types of design pattern
Excellent course! Instructor easy description as well as lots examples helps me to solidify my object oriented and design pattern principles. Thank you so much for this course.
Good for people already know the stuffs and need some kind of brush up. Otherwise have to be willing to study contents from web to truly understand the patterns.
The course is a really good introductory course for beginners to understand new concepts and for intermediates to refresh basic software design patterns and anti-patterns.
