Objectives

  • Understand the real purpose of GRASP and why it is foundational to object oriented design
  • Assign responsibilities correctly using Information Expert instead of guesswork
  • Design controllers that handle system events without becoming God classes
  • Balance Low Coupling and High Cohesion in real design decisions
  • Replace conditionals with Polymorphism only when it improves maintainability
  • Apply Pure Fabrication without destroying the domain model
  • Use Indirection to reduce coupling while preserving clarity
  • Protect unstable parts of a system using Protected Variations
  • Identify and fix common GRASP anti-patterns in existing code
  • Make explicit trade-offs when GRASP principles conflict
  • Apply GRASP across domain, application, and infrastructure layers
  • Understand how GRASP relates to SOLID and GoF design patterns


Pre Requisites

  1. Basic knowledge of object oriented programming concepts (classes, objects, inheritance, interfaces)
  2. Experience with at least one object oriented language (Java, C#, or similar)
  3. Ability to read and understand simple class diagrams and code examples
  4. Familiarity with basic design concepts such as encapsulation and separation of concerns
  5. No prior knowledge of GRASP is required


FAQ

  • Q. How long do I have access to the course materials?
    • A. You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
  • Q. Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
    • A. Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
