Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a methodology for managing intricate functionalities during the development of software.

There are numerous reliable and proven patterns that are readily accessible to everyone. Often, it involves adapting names and implementing these patterns within a specific technology. This can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be spent on design and testing. Training Objectives: This course aims to achieve two objectives—firstly, enabling you to leverage well-known patterns; secondly, allowing you to develop and reuse organization-specific patterns. It assists in assessing how patterns can cut costs, streamline the design process, and establish a code framework based on your patterns. Target Audience: The course is designed for software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers, developers, operational managers, and software division managers. Course Approach: The course emphasizes use cases and their connection to specific patterns. Most examples are illustrated using UML and straightforward Java examples (the programming language can be adjusted if the course is booked as a private session). It also guides you through the origins of these patterns and how to catalog and document them for reuse within your organization.

This instructor-led, live training in the UAE (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level leaders and HR professionals who wish to learn and apply Design Thinking methodologies to foster innovation, enhance problem-solving capabilities, and engage teams effectively.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Equip participants with tools and methodologies to foster innovation and team engagement.
• Develop skills in empathy mapping, ideation, and prototyping for solving complex challenges.
• Apply Design Thinking principles to leadership and HR scenarios.
• Promote a culture of innovation within tech teams.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In today’s complex world, we often encounter problems that require innovative solutions. Design Thinking equips us to tackle these challenges effectively. By mastering design thinking, one can enhance communication skills, improve persuasion techniques, boost business outcomes, and refine both organizational and personal performance.

• How DT works: learn from people and the problem at hand, identify patterns, create a model (model drift), test it, evaluate its effectiveness, and re-engineer as necessary.
• The connection between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools include persona creation, stakeholder mapping, customer journey mapping, service blueprinting, and business model innovation.
• Applications of DT encompass a design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approaches, agile estimation techniques, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication abilities, technological proficiency, forward-thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiation skills, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To grasp the core principles and subtleties of DT
• To delve into key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within DT
• To engage in hands-on experimentation, experience, and practice of DT

Delivery:

This is a 1-day (4-hour) training course that includes:

• lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactive sessions),
• group exercises (30% - group dynamics, games, discussions, and mock conflict resolution activities),
• individual tasks (15% - writing, designing, and peer discussions)
• other components (15% - videos, reading materials).

Note: Due to the nature of this course, a minimum group size of 3 is required.

Target Audience:

Technical Team Leader, Software Developer

Learning Goal:

The aim of this training is to develop the skills needed to create sophisticated development and project frameworks using C#.

Throughout the course, participants will gain proficiency with MSDN resources and tools that aid in the development process, including Microsoft Visual Studio and ReSharper.

This instructor-led, live training in the UAE (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level PHP developers who wish to apply design patterns effectively in their projects.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the purpose and benefits of design patterns.
• Identify and implement appropriate design patterns for common scenarios.
• Structure PHP applications using industry-recognized best practices.
• Integrate patterns into modern frameworks such as Symfony or Zend.

This training program is tailored for JavaScript developers focused on creating and executing sophisticated web applications. The course covers key topics that emphasize optimal coding techniques in JavaScript and pinpoint frequent errors. A significant aspect of the training involves exploring object-oriented programming methodologies within the context of JavaScript syntax.

Objective:

This course is designed to assist technical analysts and designers in navigating the software implementation process of requirements, ensuring a clear link between business specifications and the corresponding code.

Over two days, participants will learn how to translate business analyst descriptions into detailed specifications. These specifications are then transformed into representations of software components, which trace back to the original system requirements.

The final step involves implementing these technical specifications in the form of software code and testing them at a component level. This approach ensures that the resulting software components can adapt effectively to changes by tracing system behaviors layer by layer—from user interfaces through application components to business objects where actor choices are recorded.

This course is tailored for seasoned programmers interested in delving into pattern usage and refactoring challenges. Participants will gain knowledge of the characteristics and real-world applications of these patterns, thereby enhancing their ability to construct effective and accurate application code efficiently.
