TOP REVIEWS FROM DESIGN PATTERNS
This course was not easy, especially when you have zero knowledge on subject. But it is very helpful subject and will certainly be a plus for you career in software development.
The course was really recommended for a good kick start in design patterns and it would be more effective if you follow this course along with head first design patterns book
Really enjoyed this course. All the resources and explanation helped to gain understanding on such complex topics and practice new knowledge on a real application.
Good for people already know the stuffs and need some kind of brush up. Otherwise have to be willing to study contents from web to truly understand the patterns.
