Our Java Design Patterns Course is the best value-for-money education you can give your programmers. During an intensive 4 days, we cover all of the Gang-of-Four patterns, in addition to some other lesser-known ones. Your programmers will learn how design patterns fit into the big picture in Java. Each pattern is followed by exercises. These help the student to apply what they have learned in the lecture. After each exercise we demonstrate the solution with a walk-through. We have taken great care to make sure that each pattern is accurately taught. We make sure that the code they see is safe for use in industrial strength code.

Is this course for you?

  • Learn how a Java Specialist thinks when designing a Java system.
  • Learn how each pattern is used in the Java Development Kit (JDK).
  • Learn how the Java Virtual Machine optimizes our well-factored code on-the-fly.
  • Learn how we can make our patterns thread-safe.
  • Learn how modern Java 8 lambdas and Java 11 features can reduce code when implementing design patterns.
  • Learn how the Singleton can cause "code smells".
  • Learn how to get rid of copy & paste code and those pesky switch and if-else statements.
  • Improve your team communication by introducing a richer design vocabulary.

About the Author: Java Specialists

Java Specialists thumbnail

Java Specialists is the long-running training company of Heinz Kabutz, a South African Java performance specialist who has been publishing the Java Specialists' Newsletter since 2000 — one of the longest continuously running developer publications anywhere. His material is widely respected for depth on the JVM internals and concurrency that most Java tutorials skip.

The CourseFlix listing carries three Java Specialists courses: Mastering Java 17, Java Design Patterns, and Data Structures in Java. Material is paid and aimed at experienced Java developers who want depth on the modern language and its idiomatic patterns rather than yet another framework tutorial.

Frequently asked questions

What are the prerequisites for enrolling in the Java Design Patterns course?
Prospective students should have a solid understanding of the Java programming language. Familiarity with the Unified Modeling Language (UML) would also be beneficial as it is covered in the course. There is no requirement for prior experience with design patterns, as the course is structured to introduce and explain them in detail.
What is the primary focus of the Java Design Patterns course?
The course focuses on teaching the Gang-of-Four (GoF) design patterns, as well as some lesser-known patterns like the Essence Pattern and the Object Recursion Pattern. It emphasizes practical application through exercises and demonstrations to ensure students can apply these patterns in industrial-strength code.
Who is the target audience for this course?
This course is ideal for Java programmers who want to deepen their understanding of design patterns. It is suited for those looking to enhance their ability to write maintainable and scalable code by applying proven design patterns in their software development projects.
How does this course compare in depth and scope to other design pattern courses?
The course not only covers all of the traditional Gang-of-Four design patterns but also includes additional patterns from sources like PLoPD3 and PLoPD4. This broader scope gives students exposure to both classic and modern patterns, providing a comprehensive understanding of design patterns in Java.
What specific tools or platforms are emphasized in the course?
The course primarily focuses on Java as the programming language. It discusses Java Memory Management and Java HotSpot Optimizations, which are crucial for implementing design patterns effectively in Java applications.
What topics are not covered in the Java Design Patterns course?
The course does not focus on topics outside of design patterns and related Java-specific optimizations. It does not cover non-Java programming languages or frameworks, nor does it delve into broader software engineering principles beyond pattern application.
What is the time commitment required to complete the Java Design Patterns course?
The course is designed to be completed in an intensive 4-day period. It consists of 69 lessons, each including lectures, exercises, and walkthroughs. Students should be prepared to dedicate these four days fully to benefit from the immersive learning experience.
