Testimonials
Carlo Garatti
"If your question is about how to write valuable software, this program is for you!! Through one-on-one lessons with Francesco you will learn how to fit the right techniques and tools in the exact phases of the software development cycle. You will fix and apply these ideas in real cases. And, last but not least, in an enjoyable way!"
Nicole Lemke
"If you not only want to know what “Object-Oriented Programming” means, but are also interested in its origins and what it can achieve, start here, at the very beginning. Let Francesco take you on a journey. Learn about the essence of good objects and write good stories that those objects can tell."
PATTERN PRESCRIPTION: MONTHLY DOSE OF BETTER DESIGN
Defuse the IF Strategy, one pattern at a time
Welcome to the "Pattern Prescription Series," an extensive collection of courses and events that peel back the layers of software design patterns. In the programming universe, the excessive use of "IFs" can become a real affliction. This "IF-itis" can lead to complicated code, challenging to maintain and prone to errors. But fear not, the Anti-IF doctor is here with his "prescriptions"!
Unlike any other series, we offer an eclectic mix: from in-depth theoretical explorations to pragmatic workshops and code review sessions that showcase patterns in real-world scenarios.
The Threefold Approach
- Theoretical Foundations: Courses like "Chain of Responsibility Explored" serve as comprehensive introductions. Dive deep into the essence of each pattern, from its historical evolution to its core principles and typical use cases.
- Practical Applications: Our "In Practice" workshops, such as "Chain of Responsibility in Practice," transition from the conceptual to the hands-on. Here, we not only talk about a pattern but immerse ourselves in its real-world applications, devising solutions and confronting challenges head-on.
- Pattern Dissections Through Code Reviews: In unique sessions like "Implementing Undo Features: Learning from JHotDraw," we embark on a pattern detective journey. Instead of generalities, we zoom into specific software like JHotDraw, extracting lessons on patterns from its codebase. These code review sessions become a treasure trove of insights, showcasing how patterns weave themselves into successful software solutions.
