This course, part of the Software Development MicroMasters program, will dig deep into the principles of object-oriented design, and introduce new abstraction techniques and design patterns. You will use these techniques to build an application that makes use of popular online services and APIs – the most complex software design project so far.
Learners who enroll in the Verified track will receive staff grading for the course project and increased interaction with the instructors and staff.

What you'll learn:

How to read and use software design patterns
To implement and test an object-oriented design
How to develop an application using online services and APIs

Agile Meets Design Thinking (Coursera)

CS: Design & Product

Despite everyone's good intentions, hard work and solid ideas, too many projects end up creating unneeded, unusable, and unsellable products. But it doesn't have to be this way. Agile and design thinking offer a different--and effective--approach to product development, one that results in valuable solutions to meaningful problems. In this course, you’ll learn how to determine what's valuable to a user early in the process--to frontload value--by focusing your team on testable narratives about the user and creating a strong shared perspective.
