Self Evaluation: Design pattern.....

Well it’s been an epic journey; it was whole new world to me. Exploring Design pattern and AntiPatterns were a best part of my educational life.

This blog is aimed to express my experience during this particular module.

I have learnt quite a number of things through out this module. I have outlined them into different titles and expanded it accordingly.

Design patterns

Throughout this module we have been introduced to design pattern. It was a new subject to me. I was familiar with java prior to design pattern. Upon the introduction to different design patterns my perception towards java programming has changed completely.

I have to mention about the GOF books and their ground breaking work on design pattern. The realization of the design pattern and its applicability on modern software development is indeed very much appreciated.

Apart from it, knowing about Adapter, strategy and decorator pattern were a blessing. Now I think twice before programming. I think about applying design pattern in programming rather then jumping on to code.

So it helped me a lot in terms of getting good program done with ease.

AntiPatterns

Fairly new term in the world of computing but without AntiPatterns the design is not completed. It is the natural counterpart of design pattern. AntiPatterns are getting popular because of its usability.

Blogging

To be honest I have very much liked blogging. Since the beginning of the classes I have been doing my blogging on regular basis. I have also liked the interactions between fellow class mates. Overall, I enjoyed the freedom of expressing my thoughts and opinions of learning design pattern.

Now in near future I would like to study design pattern further and explore the secret of all these patterns .
