A Pattern Language for Teaching Design Patterns

  • Conference paper
Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming III

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((TPLOP,volume 7840))

Abstract

Pedagogical Patterns help in general with teaching. But the teaching of design patterns introduces a few specific problems like e.g. ensuring that the purpose of patterns is understood and that patterns are applied in the appropriate and correct way. This pattern language for teaching design patterns addresses these problems and offers solutions for teachers and trainers to solve them.

This article subsumes two earlier conference papers [20,21].
