查看授課大綱

This course extends object-oriented analysis and design by incorporating design patterns to create interactive applications. Through a survey of established design patterns, you will gain a foundation for more complex software applications. Finally, you will identify problematic software designs by referencing a catalog of code smells. You will be challenged in the Capstone Project to redesign an existing Java-based Android application to implement a combination of design patterns. You will also critique a given Java codebase for code smells. After completing this course, you will be able to: • Demonstrate how to use design patterns to address user interface design issues. • Identify the most suitable design pattern to address a given application design problem. • Apply design principles (e.g., open-closed, dependency inversion, least knowledge). • Critique code by identifying and refactoring anti-patterns. • Apply the model-view-controller architectural pattern.

Good course, really loving this specialization though I am a bit behind with progress as I wasnt well

Working with Design Patterns & Anti-patterns

You will learn a design pattern that is very useful for user interfaces: model-view-controller, or MVC. Then you will learn some principles underlying the design patterns, to create software that is flexible, reusable, and maintainable. Finally, you will learn some of the symptoms of bad design, which we call code smells or antipatterns.

Many design patterns that we've explored use generalization of concrete classes.

These generalizations are presented as interfaces for

client classes to use to indirectly invoke the behaviors of the concrete classes.

Design patterns do this so that client classes become less dependant on concrete

classes, allowing for changes to be made more easily.

Interfaces play an important role in object oriented programming, so

much so that you should strive to program to interfaces instead of concrete classes.

However, an issue can arise if an interface contains too much.

Can you think of any problems that this might cause?

Consider this example.

Imagine creating a system that represents the checkout area at a grocery store.

In North American countries, there are two ways a customer can pay for their goods.

They can approach a human cashier operating a till, or

they can use the automated self-serve machines.

The purpose between the two can be generalized with an interface.

They both scan items that a customer wants to purchase,

accept some form of payment and dispense change when needed,

but there are some behaviors that are not shared between the two of them.

While an automated self-serve machine can perform work indefinitely,

a cashier needs to eat, go on breaks and leave at the end of their shift.

Now, you can simply put these human behaviors into a concrete cashier class,

but there's an issue with this design decision.

A client class would not be able to use indirection to invoke these human

behaviors, because they're not in the interface.

But if your client class calls the method directly upon a cashier,

it will become dependent on that concrete class.

So then are you forced to add these human behaviors into the interface?

Or do you just accept that your system now has a low level dependency and

will just do extra work when you need to make changes?

Luckily, you can use the interface segregation principle to tackle this issue

so that you won't run in to dependency issues or

be forced to generalize everything into the interface.

The interface segregation principle states that a class should not

be forced to depend on methods it does not use.

This means that any classes that implement an interface

should not have dummy implementations of any methods defined in the interface.

Instead, you should split large interfaces into smaller generalizations.

So how does this work?

The ICashier interface does work for

the human cashier class because all its behaviors are captured by the interface.

But as you can see, this design is not ideal, because the self-serve

machine should not need to clock in and out of work or take any breaks.

You don't want to be forced to provide method implementations for

the self-serve machine that don't fit the machine.

These would essentially be dumb implementations that don't do anything,

and these are not behaviors that a client class should expect or

be able to ask a machine to do.

So we should apply the interface segregation principle and

split the ICashier interface into two smaller ones.

This will allow each interface to be more accurate with its description of

expected behaviors, and it will allow you to pick and choose which correct

combinations of interfaces a concrete class should implement.

In this design, the old ICashier interface is split into a new ICashier interface and

an IHumanWorker interface.

The ICashier interface describes the general behaviors of a cashier, human or

machine, and

the IHumanWorker interface describes the general behaviors of an employee.

The HumanCashier class can implement both interfaces,

and the SelfServeMachine class would only need to implement the ICashier interface.

This way both of your concrete classes will only need to provide implementations

for the interfaces that generalize their specific functionality.

Interfaces are an integral part of object oriented systems.

They will help you reduce coupling by generalizing concrete classes, but just

like with all object oriented principles you should strive to use them properly.

While large interfaces are not a poor design choice,

you need to examine them in the context of your system to decide if you need to

split it up into smaller generalizations using the interface segregation principle.

This design principle states that a class should not be forced to depend on methods

it does not use, and interfaces should be split up in such a way that it can

properly describe the separate functionalities of your system.

Sometimes it isn't always clear how to properly segregate your interface or

to predict future changes in requirements that will need interfaces to be split up.

Having a system with well-defined interfaces will help you to see these

segregation points better.

You should always strive to be as precise as possible when designing interfaces.

Remember that they are descriptions of what parts of your system can do, and

the better the description, the easier it will be to create, update and

maintain your software.
