The Java Design Patterns Course

Excellent content and explanations - sometimes the talking speed is too fast on order to reflect the facts instantaneously.

So far you are the best teacher I have found. I am able to understand Pattern first time without any difficulty

This course looks like it will supplement a lot of the detail that was left out of the bootcamp instruction I received.

Sound cool

I think the knowledge on the patterns are very well explained and you know them very well... It is frustrating seeing files with multiple classes even if it helps seeing how things fit together it is difficult to watch for I will never do it. It does help me code better and this course are extremely valuable think it is without a doubt worth it go and do it.

Seems to be good.

The instructor did an excellent job of structuring the course into manageable segments and is very professional. I noticed that he read directly from the slide verbatim most of the time, I would advise elaborating on what's on the slides with your own words or using more visual aids to highlight the words you are saying, reading from the slides verbatim is not presentation best practices in my opinion, though all the information on the slides I found very useful and took careful notes my advice is merely meant to improve presentation best practices. the examples were the most helpful part of the course and illuminated the concepts discussed on the slideshow. the projects were mildly challenging, most of the projects were quite small and the solution was usually to copy paste the example video but maybe change the names, creational design challenges broke from this pattern. an improvement to the challenges could be finding several ways to complexify and enlarge the original code which is what I often did. the action of doing it helped me to solidify more into my memory the workings of the design patterns. This is an excellent training wheels that will put you through your paces and establish a set of background knowledge to study the more advanced applications and instances of design patterns and OOP principles. Highly recommend for those wanting to get a firm grounding in the main principles of software development.

A very interesting andgreatly educational course. I had a good time, particularly studying the example implementations and working through the challenges. As for constructive criticism (and I'm sure I'm not the first one to mention this): there are way too many text only Powerpoint slides and there is way too much repetition of concepts. Although these are highly conceptual topics, I'm sure there is more one can do with the visual aid aspects of Powerpoint (illustration of examples and animations for instance). The introduction of UML helped, but there is still to much text that is simply read aloud. A small improvement would already be to put the summaries and enumeration of advantages and disadvantages after the implementation examples. As for the coding mistakes, yes everyone makes them and that is no big deal. What I found a bit surprising though is that Jason pays little or no attention to the great support IntelliJ offers in this respect signaling the errors in red. Often he continues until the program crashes whereas the error(s) was clearly indicated and could easily have been corrected before building and running the program.

Very good courses with good examples.

Overall good explanation, but sometimes a bit slow and repetitive. Maybe the Powerpoint slides are better with more graphic/drawing examples and less text.
