Software Design Patterns in C

Description

In this course, you will learn :

• You'll discover why design patterns are more of a communication tool than a technical solution, and how patterns allow you to create and share a common vocabulary, which simplifies communication.
• The course introduces a variety of patterns and demonstrates how to implement them in C. Each pattern is introduced by describing the problem it solves and the domains in which it can be used.
• We also go over the underlying design principles as well as the trade-offs that come with using the pattern.
• The course introduces a set of coding idioms that will help you apply design patterns in C.
