7000cj's honest review, GoF's Design Patterns Learned Through Coding course

Whenever I studied design patterns from books, the concepts never really stuck. But by having me write code myself and experience why the patterns are needed, you helped me truly grasp them. One of the biggest takeaways was developing an instinct for designing systems that can be extended to meet new requirements without changing existing code. The Java examples are clean, and I’ve already started applying them to my work.
