Title

Software Patterns

Aims

A broad knowledge of the concept of patterns and specific, detailed knowledge of the most common patterns.

Contents

This course gives a wide perspective on software patterns and their relation to frameworks. The focus is on the theory and practice of software patterns, and will include in-depth studies of many forms of patterns, not just design patterns.

Patterns are descriptions of abstract solutions to often recurring problems in programming. The idea originally came from architecture (for buildings) and the name is chosen because the solutions, since they are used often, occur as patterns in the design. Design patterns are the most widely known kind of patterns, and are a topic in the course, but we will also cover patterns for software architecture, concurrency, distribution, analysis, and organization.
