Duration: 5 days at a site, 10 weeks teleseminar series
Public class price: $2500.00 includes instructor, meeting space, all course materials, and lunch each day.
Public class size: 10 - 20 delegates
Teleseminar class price: $1750.00 includes 2 meetings a week with the instructor (one instructional, one Q&A) and all course materials. Homework is assigned, and delegates interact through a Facebook Fan page.

Description: This class covers the all the patterns in the book "Design Patterns" by Gamma,
Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides. In the context of a few real world applications, we review the patterns in the catalog and
how they were used in these applications.
Class exercises are in the form of applying the patterns to new applications. Examples are in Unified Modeling Language (UML).
This class is designed for people
who have already taken Object Oriented Analysis and Design, or have experience
developing Object Oriented applications.
Benefits of this Course:
- Understand how to apply the different patterns in actual projects
- Learn which patterns are more likely to be used in a project, and which not
- Understand and be able to model the difference between a pattern description and the use of a pattern in a project
- You know you will probably never actually read the book - it's like reading an encyclopedia. This class will get you through all the patterns in a way that you can actually use them

Instructors: Geri Schneider Winters. Ms. Winters was first introduced to Object Oriented techniques in 1982. She has worked using OO Techniques in Booch, OMT, OOSE, and UML notations. Ms. Winters has taught OO, Architecture, and Design Patterns for many companies including Rational Software, IBM, Boeing, Safeway Inc., Intuit, Dental Dental of California, and University of California Santa Cruz Extension. She has been using UML since the 0.8 release in Austin, Texas in 1996.

Comments
This course was delivered for many years as part of the Object Oriented Certificate at University of California Santa Cruz Extension.
"I had a hard time reading the Design Patterns book by myself. Geri did a great job explaining how the Design Patterns worked. I liked the examples, and the exercises really made me think about how I would use the patterns in real life."
