Learning Strategies

Lectures will present the basic material; tutorials will apply the material to solve a number of problems. The tutorials will involve applying the design problems to provide implementations to solve problems in given contexts. An O-O case tool may be used which has predefined patterns. These predefined patterns can be adapted to solve a particular problem. Questions based on work done in the tutorial may be set in the exam. 2 lectures and 1 tutorial per week. (1:n)2 (1:20)1

Prospectus #### Information

This module will apply design patterns to develop high-quality object-oriented software systems. You will understand the main software design patterns including the main GOF patterns. The application of patterns will allow you to improve software design, organisation and maintainability. The module will looks at patterns within a range of Application domains and looks at open-source software frameworks
