OO Heuristics and Design Patterns in Visual FoxPro

A two-day seminar on understanding and using design patterns in your development projects. Attendees are assumed to have a working knowledge of basic object-oriented concepts.

The training is conducted by Steven Black with the developers at your site. It's a vfp-intensive overview of some of the most compelling commonly used design patterns used in most vfp frameworks and applications today.

Key Benefits

• Learn the correct use and application of object-oriented terminology and concepts 
• Learn the most important OOD heuristics and learn to quickly good and bad designs
• Learn how object-oriented concepts are applied to software engineering and how they can be used to build more robust and less expensive software systems.

Audience
