Designing Advanced Object-Oriented Programming Patterns for Large Systems

Course Overview

Systems supporting advanced object-oriented patterns fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. Technical debt in this strand of technology and systems delivery is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what the practice within technology and systems delivery has actually achieved. A common pattern is strong design of advanced object-oriented patterns paired with weak follow-through. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this part of technology and systems delivery and the judgement to adapt it. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the wider technology and systems delivery agenda improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in advanced object-oriented patterns rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. It is written for people who have to make the technology and systems delivery discipline work with the resources they already have. The final session converts the week's work on this aspect of technology and systems delivery into commitments with owners and dates.
