Anti-patterns in OO Design and Programming

Goal: This Discussion Assignment asks you to read about anti-patterns.

Problem Statement:

Do an Internet search for anti-patterns in object-oriented design and programming.

Task:

• Each person comes up with 2 anti-patterns using code or design examples.
• The group collects the anti-patterns identified by each member and discusses the anti-patterns they have encountered during their career. They present a summary of the discussion to the main bulletin board.

Part A (5 points)

Part A consists of anti-patterns from each member to the group. There must be a code or design example to get full points.

Cite your references.

Part B consists of responding to the initial postings (2 points) and the final group posting to the Main topic forum (3 points).

The posting must include a complete listing of the anti-patterns identified by the entire group as well as a summary of the discussion of anti-patterns encountered in real life.

If you include quotation or thoughts from other sources, be sure to cite them appropriately (author, title, publisher, page, etc.).
