TOP REVIEWS FROM DESIGN PATTERNS
The demo could have been also possible with any simple IDE, as installing and configuring Android Studio could be irrelevant for some students.
This course was not easy, especially when you have zero knowledge on subject. But it is very helpful subject and will certainly be a plus for you career in software development.
Wonderful course. It can enhance tour knowledge and give opportunity to explore more about design patterns. There are wonderful examples, assignments and quiz. I would highly recommend this course.
Good overall. Some of the discussion links go to expired discussion-groups. And a link to a quick summary of each of the patterns would help.
