Design Patterns in Swift
Why take this course?
🌟 Course Overview: Design Patterns in Swift 🌟
Dive into the world of modern iOS and macOS development with a comprehensive understanding of Design Patterns in Swift. This course is meticulously crafted to provide you with practical, hands-on experience using the latest versions of Swift, along with contemporary programming approaches such as dependency injection, reactive programming, and modern developer tools.
👉 What You'll Learn:
- A thorough exploration of all GoF design patterns and their modern variations.
- The intrinsic use of these patterns in Swift, enhancing your ability to write clean, efficient, and maintainable code.
- Practical examples of each pattern, ensuring you understand not just the concept, but also how it's applied in real-world scenarios.
Design Patterns Explained: Design Patterns are timeless solutions that address recurring challenges faced by software developers. These patterns, as famously detailed in the seminal 1994 book "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software," offer templates for how to solve complex problems in software design. First introduced with C++ and Smalltalk examples, these patterns have been universally adapted to every programming language known today, including Swift.
📚 Patterns Covered: The course meticulously covers the entire set of GoF design patterns, along with additional SOLID Design Principles:
- Creational Patterns (Builder, Factory Method, Abstract Factory, Prototype, Singleton)
- Structural Patterns (Adapter, Bridge, Composite, Decorator, Facade, Flyweight, Proxy)
- Behavioral Patterns (Chain of Responsibility, Command, Interpreter, Iterator, Mediator, Memento, Null Object, Observer, State, Strategy, Template Method, Visitor)
- SOLID Design Principles (Single Responsibility Principle, Open-Closed Principle, Liskov Substitution Principle, Interface Segregation Principle, Dependency Inversion Principle)
Who Should Take This Course? If you're a Swift developer looking to enhance your coding skills and understand the deeper nuances of design patterns in Swift, this course is perfect for you. You'll see beyond the textbook examples and learn variations and tricks that will help you implement design patterns effectively in modern Swift applications.
Presentation Style: This course is delivered through engaging live demonstrations. Each demo is a complete, single-file example that you can download and run in your preferred environment like CLion, XCode, or directly on the command line. The course eschews UML diagrams in favor of live coding examples, using Visual Studio Code to provide an interactive learning experience.
