Patterns in Frameworks Workshop

Course Number:

N/A

nTier’s Patterns in Frameworks course is a three-day intensive workshop focused on the design patterns found in many common frameworks such as Spring, Struts and Java Server Faces (JSF). Common usage in JEE/J2EE is also included such as the servlet framework and EJB (2 and 3). The course is delivered in a 70 percent hands-on coding with minimal lecture.

Lessons are delivered in a “Socratic” fashion whereby:

  • Students are given a problem and asked to solve it
  • A short lecture / demo is given in order to show our solution
  • Students are given time to refactor their solution as needed

Our goal is to provide a “real life” experience in which the participants code a single problem domain throughout the class and use the patterns in context to solve common recurring problems.

This course can be customized to focus on a particular framework of your choosing.
