• Prerequisites: Basic understanding of Java
• Taught by a Stanford-educated, ex-Googler, husband-wife team
• Please don't take this class if you have already signed up for our From 0 to 1: Design Patterns course (that includes a far longer and more in-depth version of this material)

This is a quick and handy course with exactly what you need to know (nothing more, nothing less!) about the MVC paradigm in Java.

Let’s parse that.

• The course is quick and handy: It explains the Model-View-Controller paradigm, the Command and Observer design patterns in just the right level of detail for you to put these to work today.
• The course has exactly what you need - nothing more, nothing less. It starts from zero, builds up the design, then gives plenty of real-world examples, but crisply and quickly.
• The course is also quirky. The examples are irreverent. Lots of little touches: repetition, zooming out so we remember the big picture, active learning with plenty of quizzes. There’s also a peppy soundtrack, and art - all shown by studies to improve cognition and recall.

What's Covered:

• The MVC Paradigm
• Observer Design Pattern and event handling
• Command Design Pattern and action objects
