Design Patterns Course

Join Women Coding Community for our next session on design patterns!
Design Patterns Course
In this series of events, we will explore popular design patterns and their implementations in Python and Java, using "Head First Design Patterns" as our reference book. After covering the key concepts, we will examine how the patterns have evolved to support modern architectures (distributed systems and microservices).
Course Highlights

🚀 Pattern of the Week: Iterator & Composite Pattern
As a nice-to-have for this session, we recommend reading Chapter 9 of the Head First Design Patterns book.

🚀 Design Pattern Deep Dives with Guided Learning: Each week, we will dive into fundamental design patterns through a structured, chapter-by-chapter exploration of the Head First Design Patterns book. We will break down the purpose, structure, and real-world applications of each pattern. This guided learning approach will ensure a comprehensive and practical understanding of design patterns.

📜 Earn a Certificate: Upon successfully completing the course, including participation in discussions and submission of quizzes, you will receive a certificate recognizing your achievement in mastering key design patterns.
To qualify for the certificate, participants must attend at least 60% of the sessions.
