Java: Master SOLID Principles and Top Design Patterns

About this course

We all want to become better software developers and be able to call ourselves "Software Engineers" or "Software Architects", but to do that you first have to master a number of design patterns.This course will put you on a track to that destination. We will teach you how to recognize when to use specific design patterns to build complex systems in a divide-and-conquer manner so that complexity is reduced and abstracted.But rather than learning all the design patterns out there, we have curated the most important, top fundamental GoF Design Patterns for you. All of that in the context of the Java programming language.We start with full understanding of the S.O.L.I.D Design Principles and how they in turn relate to those design patterns. We eplain everything in the context of real-world problems as well as specific code examples.At the end of the course you will get to Architect a solution by coding John Conway's Game of Life simulation which will run on variety of devices.Complex software systems are plagued with three major issues:Timelines are stretched as requirements change.Multiple developers have a hard time coordinating their efforts.Code redundancy.This in turn creates issues with maintenance and overall flexibility for adding new features. In general this means poorly designed systems that are hard to maintain and are not adaptable.One answer to all the above problems is having a proper design and architecture. Think of a skyscraper being built. There is always a high-level blueprint. This blueprint is used to show everybody involved (from architects to supply chain to construction workers to machinery scheduling etc…) what is being worked on.Everybody understands and follows the same vision.A blueprint
