Design patterns have already gained great importance in both design and implementation of object-oriented software in many diverse areas of applications. In order to get the ideas of design patterns firmly established, they should be taught right from the beginning of a course. This paper outlines how the presently used Objects-First approach can be extended and changed into the Design-Patterns-First approach. The outline of the first five lectures of our university course, which is structured according to this approach, is presented. Some examples of design patterns suitable for the very first lecture of such introductory course are also included.
