A developer working in a team on a complex software with a large codebase appreciates the importance of Design Patterns, and the companies that own such software more and more are looking for developers with basic design patterns knowledge. Using design patterns in software development enables a team of developers to use Object Oriented Programs to create complex software that can be modified in a section of the codebase without having to rebuild the software and with less chance of code breakage in other areas of the program.

He is one of the most prolific faculties at the university having published over 60 books, including 44 programming books.
