Announcing New Fundamental iOS Design Patterns Pro Course!

Announcing Our New Pro Course: Fundamental iOS Design Patterns!

Every iOS developer should understand design patterns extremely well because they are frequently used throughout iOS development.

In our new Fundamental iOS Design Patterns Pro course, you'll learn about fundamental iOS design patterns like MVC, Delegation, Strategy, Singleton, Memento, Observer and Builder!

Keep reading to hear more about it from course instructor Joshua Greene:

Why should I take your Fundamental iOS Design Patterns course?

"Design patterns are reusable, template solutions to common software development problems. They aren't specific to a particular situation, but rather, they are solutions you can adapt and use in countless projects.

Design patterns are incredibly useful, no matter what language or platform you develop for, and every developer should absolutely know about them. They should also know how and when to apply them. That's exactly what you'll learn in my course!

You'll learn what design patterns are at a high level, how to read and write class diagrams and how to use many of the most common iOS design patterns."

How do you use design patterns in your job?

"I use design patterns on every single project and nearly every day in my job. They allow me to shortcut problems by using tried-and-true solutions, communicate with other developers more easily through shared vocabulary and more efficiently accomplish development tasks.

If you're a beginner developer or new to design patterns, you'll definitely want to go through my course and level up your development skills!

Even if you're an intermediate or advanced developer, you're sure to learn a trick or two in this video series."

Can you please share a cool design pattern tip with us?

"There are three main types of design patterns:

1. Structural design pattern: Describes how objects are composed and combined to form larger structures. Examples of structural design patterns include Model-View-Controller (MVC), Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) and Facade.

2. Behavioral design pattern: Describes how objects communicate with each other. Examples of behavioral design patterns are Delegation, Strategy and Observer.

3. Creational design pattern: Describes how to create or instantiate objects. Examples of creational patterns are Builder, Singleton and Prototype.

On every project, you're likely to use several design patterns to accomplish your development goals.

You may be wondering if knowing a design pattern’s type really matters. Well, yes... and no.

It’s not useful to memorize all patterns by type. Most developers don’t do this. However, if you’re not sure whether a particular pattern will work, it’s sometimes useful to consider other patterns of the same type. You just might find one that works better for your particular problem."

Is there anything else you'd like to share about iOS design patterns?

"Design patterns have been around for a long time, and they’ve been used in many apps. So at some point, you’re going to encounter them.

We think it’s best to have an understanding of what they are before you run into them, instead of trying to wing it on the fly, which in my experience is usually late on a Sunday night, the day before the release deadline, right after discovering a critical bug. ;]

So, what are you waiting for? Dive into this course now and learn about iOS design patterns!"
