Agenda

In one our previous lessons, we found out that design patters should be used wiselly and some of them are more anti-patterns than patterns.
In this design patterns workshop, we will design several real-world applications using the common, not very complicated patterns.
An because .NET framework is now open source, will also look into some well known .NET libraries to find usage of those patterns.

Home preparation before the workshop

Get familiar with UML 2.0 notations for Class diagrams.
No previous knowledge of design patterns needed.
