Agile Design and Modeling for Advanced Object Design with Patterns - Craig Larman

Er du arkitekt eller utvikler og arbeider med objektorienterte systemer, er dette kurset for deg. Du vil lære å beherske avansert objektorientert design (OOD) og designmønster (patterns). De fleste moderne objektorienterte systemer er konstruert etter mønster eller forbilder, og det å beherske disse mønstrene er svært viktig både for utviklere og arkitekter. Kurset er praktisk lagt opp med en rekke realistiske oppgaver og individuell veiledning. Kursholder Craig Larman er en av verdens mest kjente profiler innen metoder og prosesser for systemutvikling og har skrevet en rekke bøker.

HIGH–IMPACT COACHING: LEARN FROM AN EXPERT

In addition to serving as chief scientist for Valtech, an international advanced technology development and consulting group with divisions in 8 eight countries and over 1,400 people, Craig Larman is the author of the world’s best–selling text on OOA⁄D and patterns: Applying UML and Patterns, used globally in universities and business, the best–selling guide to agile methods, Agile and Iterative Development: A Manager’s Guide, plus the Java 2 Performance and Idiom Guide. He has coached OOD since 1986 to literally thousands of developers, and brings his passion for excellence, professionalism, and a desire to add high–value to every customer he serves. His seminar approach is based on adult–education theory to maximize the learning value and fun for clients.

COURSE OVERVIEW

This popular, high–impact, and hands–on course on mastering advanced object–oriented design (OOD) and design patterns (primarily the “Gang of Four” design patterns) with agility is aimed at architects and developers of OO systems, You will learn to design with patterns, apply visual modeling in an agile modeling approach, and a suite of related advanced design topics, including the design of packages. This course is based on acclaimed industry leader Craig Larman’s extensive experience coaching and applying OOD since the mid 1980s.

In this intensive seminar there is some lecture time, but the majority is spent in small teams at vast whiteboard spaces while the coach rotates and works with each team, guiding them through the case study problems. The course proceeds through a series of case studies within which you learn design pattern skills. Other education methods include rotation reviews, multi–modal learning, and pair learning. These skills are applied repeatedly in several iterations of the case studies, as we go deeper, reinforce knowledge, and illustrate iterative and evolutionary development. New design patterns are introduced incrementally across the iterations.

Object–oriented (OO) design patterns are a critical skill of successful developers to support design agility. Various studies indicate that after initial release of a software system, at least 50% of effort and cost is spent in modification. To save money, it is skillful and economic to take a long–term view of product development and invest in simple, clear and extensible designs that reduce these costs.

You will leave this workshop with deeper skill to apply patterns and create quality designs that have agility – that support reduced modification costs and increased comprehensibility, and hence support business agility.
