CMSC491D Design Patterns In Java

Fall 1999

Syllabus

Course Description

This course is an introduction to design patterns using the Java language. The course will cover the rationale and benefits of object-oriented design patterns. Several example problems will be studied to investigate the development of good design patterns. Specific patterns, such as Oberver, State, Adapter and Abstract Factory, will be discussed. Programming projects in the Java language will provide experience in the use of these patterns. In addition, distributed object frameworks, such as RMI and Jini, will be studied for their effective use of design patterns.
