Java Design Patterns Training in Finland

The Java language and popular Java-based frameworks incorporate more proven development practices into their programming interfaces with each major release. These practices, referred to as design patterns, document well-known names, code implementation and re-factoring techniques, and the risks and trade-offs associated with using them. In design patterns, the responsibility of each component is identified by role. 

The conventions of design pattern documentation make it easier for development teams to communicate their programming intentions and provide a reference point for the entire Java development community.

The Java Patterns course reviews common and emerging patterns specific to Java SDK and EE development. Students learn the depth and evolution of pattern-based techniques in Java with particular emphasis on Java EE 6 conventions.

There are no prerequisites for this course.
