Here is a book that takes the sting out of learning object-oriented
design patterns! Using vignettes from the fictional world of Harry
Potter, author Avinash C. Kak provides a refreshing alternative to
the typically abstract and dry object-oriented design literature.
Designing with Objects is unique. It explains design patterns using
the short-story medium instead of sterile examples. It is the third
volume in a trilogy by Avinash C. Kak, following Programming with
Objects (Wiley, 2003) and Scripting with Objects (Wiley, 2008).
Designing with Objects confronts how difficult it is for students
to learn complex patterns based on conventional scenarios that they
may not be able to relate to. In contrast, it shows that stories
from the fictional world of Harry Potter provide highly relatable
and engaging models. After explaining core notions in a pattern and
its typical use in real-world applications, each chapter shows how
a pattern can be mapped to a Harry Potter story. The next step is
an explanation of the pattern through its Java implementation. The
following patterns appear in three sections: Abstract Factory,
Builder, Factory Method, Prototype, and Singleton; Adapter, Bridge,
Composite, Decorator, Facade, Flyweight, and Proxy; and the Chain
of Responsibility, Command, Interpreter, Iterator, Mediator,
Memento, Observer, State, Strategy, Template Method, and Visitor.
For readers use, Java code for each pattern is included in the book
s companion website. * All code examples in the book are available
for download on a companion website with resources for readers and
instructors. * A refreshing alternative to the abstract and dry
explanations of the object-oriented design patterns in much of the
existing literature on the subject. * In 24 chapters, Designing
with Objects explains well-known design patterns by relating them
to stories from the fictional Harry Potter series
