Task One: Designing with pattern
In task we have been asked to design an application which stores customer records and enable users to view the customer records in variety of ways.
According to course work we have been agreed the option to use all of the following patterns
Strategy
Decorator
Adaptor
In first instance I see it as limiting the student to design the applications in such away that using the pattern mentioned above becomes mandatory. It seems like we are only focusing on the patterns mentioned above which narrows down the scope of learning.
In the mean time, it is not possible to cover all the patterns so it is viable to be selective and use the patterns has been suggested.
According to the industry and the software developer the three patterns mentioned above are very useful and handy.
Task 2: Coding with Patterns
It’s a good opportunity for a student to probe him/herself especially those with an interest in programming. I am interested in programming specially java. It is always been my dream to explore the beauty of programming language such as java. In this work I have the opportunity to learn about pattern and their implication in programming application. My initial understanding about pattern is it might help a programmer to beautify and structure their program.
Before learning about design pattern I used to jump on to the code before thinking or analyzing about the given scenario which is of course not a good programming practice but design pattern given me a new thought of thinking and adopting patterns for solving problems. I am looking forward to use my learning in this case when I will be writing the codes
Task 3: Patterns and software development
Out of all the tasks, I have liked this particular task as like most of the computing student I am interested in web and graphic designs. What more is interesting I am a freelance website designer (www.immysnet.co.uk) so I can definitely learn pattern in website from this task and apply in my practical life.
I had a look on the website pattern mentioned in course work and realized that it is really important to have a pattern for personal website as it helps all the designer / user to follow guidelines and keep their website up to date. I am sure it would be beneficial to have a adopt design patterns for website as the market demand for web based business are on high.
Task 4: Critiquing Patterns
To me this part of the course work is the trickiest one. I see “Anti pattern” as a controversial topic in design pattern but in the mean time I find beauty where there is controversy! Life is not all rosy so as the design pattern.
If I were to do this task I would definitely enjoy the challenge but at the I would like say what my friends says about anti-pattern
“If you are on target there are plenty of marks can be scored and on the other hand if you are off the track and get carried away it might proved to be a disaster.”
Task 5: Patterns Blog
Well, blogging is a new concept in learning now. To be honest I am enjoying blogging. It gives me the freedom of expressing myself and communicates; rationalize my opinions with rest of fellow mates via their blogs. New innovation of web 2.0 blog becoming popular and always been thinking of blogging but this course has given the option of doing so.
I think it’s a great inclusion and reflection of innovative idea to the course work.
