Course Description
This quarter course surveys programming patterns and developments since Gamma's original thesis on the subject.  Students will: 
  • become familiar with the use of many of the documented patterns
  • be able to efficiently communicate program structures using patterns (but only to others who are familiar with patterns!)
  • be able to make use of patterns in new designs
  • be able to recognize patterns in program designs
  • be able to comprehend programs more easily using pattern "chunking"
Assignment will include
  • the development of a useful, reusable implementations of patterns in the form of class libraries or template libraries
  • readings of selected papers
  • class presentations on pattern-related topics
See notes on Gamma et al's and Pree's work on programming patterns for further background on patterns.
