Java Design Patterns Course
The Timeless Way of Coding
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.
"First of all, best wishes for this new year ! I just wanted to tell you that I have completed the Java Design Patterns Course, it was very interesting the examples were very clear and the books recommendation was awesome, I was following the course with some of the books you mentioned that I already have and I put a couple of your recommendations on my Amazon wish list."

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.
"I thought that your course was excellent, and have been using patterns in my work ever since (as well as campaigning the worth of using Design Patterns to my colleagues)."

"If one has to choose to take a single design patterns course it should be Java Design Patterns by Heinz Kabutz. I can't recommend it enough.The class is very well organized and covers 30 design patterns. What sets it apart is how well each pattern is explained and the coverage of several less known design patterns like Memento, Essence, Object Recursion, Acyclic Visitor. Heinz spends enough time to give details how each pattern originated and its main usages. Currently its 5 edition the course covers the material in great depth, but at he same time doesn't spend more time that necessary on each pattern. What I find very useful are the comments about common pitfalls to avoid and ways to extend and improve the implementation of these design patterns using latest language features of Java 8,9 and 10. A personal favorite of mine are the exercises that follow each design pattern allowing the student to put to practice what she learned. And if you complete all the exercises and send them to Heinz he will issue you a course completion certificate."
