Different Design Patterns:
Delegation vs inheritance
O-O design patterns, GOF type - managing behaviour, other O-O patterns to include grasp, singleton, bridge, template method, factory method, composite, visitor, command, strategy, chain of responsibility adapter, proxy, decorator.
Applying patterns to application domains, discussion of patterns in context of Application.
Databases- decoupling databases from applications, saving & restoring state
Frameworks to include struts, Junit.
MVC (Model View Control) architecture

Lectures will present the basic material; Work will be set which will involve applying the design problems to provide implementations to solve problems in given contexts. An O-O case tool may be used which has predefined patterns. These predefined patterns can be adapted to solve a particular problem. The work set will be discussed in the lectures. Questions based on work set may be set in the exam. 2 lectures per week.
