Patterns in Software Engineering (2013 / 2014)


Professor: Prof. Bernd Brügge, Ph.D.
Instructors: Barbara Reichart, Emitzá Guzman, Yang Li, Nitesh Narayan

Announcements
(Oct 14) No lecture due to SET courses

We are very sorry to say that we announced the date for the exam too early.

The dates are not fixed yet and the exam might take place on a different day.

We only know that it will most likely be before the end of February.
 
 

Objective

You will learn the principles of patterns in software development and the structure of pattern-based software systems. You will also become familiar how to apply patterns in a variety of problem situations and how handle the patterns in concrete applications. You will practice application of the patterns in exercises during the lecture.

 

Note the special course format: Lectures and Exercise are not separate, they are heavily intertwined. The course blends exercises with the lecture: the exercises are being held in the class room right after the pattern is introduced.

 

Time and Location

Lecture including in-place exercises will take place on Monday from 10:00 to 14:00 (HS1). There will be small breaks during class.

 

Exam:

There will be no repeat exam.
