Objective

You will learn the principles of patterns in software development and the structure of pattern-based software systems. You will also become familiar how to apply patterns in a variety of problem situations and how handle the patterns in concrete applications. You will practice application of the patterns in exercises during the lecture.

 

Note the special course format: Lectures and Exercise are not separate, they are heavily intertwined.  The course blends exercises with the lecture:  the exercises are being held in the class room right after the pattern is introduced. 

 

Time and Location

Lecture including in-place exercises will take place on Wednesdays from 10:15 to 13:45 (Interims Hörsaal 2).  There will be small breaks during class.

 

Exam:

Friday, February 15th 2013 2:30pm-4:00pm in MW1801 and MW2001.

Distribution across the 2 lecture halls is according to last name:

There will be no repeat exam.
