"One of the great things about the book is the way the authors
explain concepts very simply using analogies rather than
programming examples--this has been very inspiring for a product
I'm working on: an audio-only introduction to OOP and software
development."
--Bruce Eckel
.,."I would expect that readers with a basic understanding of
object-oriented programming and design would find this book useful,
before approaching design patterns completely. "Design Patterns
Explained "complements the existing design patterns texts and may
perform a very useful role, fitting between introductory texts such
as UML Distilled and the more advanced patterns books."
--James Noble
Leverage the quality and productivity benefits of
patterns--without the complexity! "Design Patterns Explained,
Second Edition" is the field's simplest, clearest, most practical
introduction to patterns. Using dozens of updated Java examples, it
shows programmers and architects exactly how to use patterns to
design, develop, and deliver software far more effectively.
You'll start with a complete overview of the fundamental
principles of patterns, and the role of object-oriented analysis
and design in contemporary software development. Then, using
easy-to-understand sample code, Alan Shalloway and James Trott
illuminate dozens of today's most useful patterns: their underlying
concepts, advantages, tradeoffs, implementation techniques, and
pitfalls to avoid. Many patterns are accompanied by UML
diagrams.
Building on their best-selling First Edition, Shalloway and
Trott have thoroughly updated this book to reflect new software
design trends, patterns, and implementation techniques. Reflecting
extensive readerfeedback, they have deepened and clarified coverage
throughout, and reorganized content for even greater ease of
understanding. New and revamped coverage in this edition includes
Better ways to start "thinking in patterns" How design patterns can
facilitate agile development using eXtreme Programming and other
methods How to use commonality and variability analysis to design
application architectures The key role of testing into a
patterns-driven development process How to use factories to
instantiate and manage objects more effectively The Object-Pool
Pattern--a new pattern not identified by the "Gang of Four" New
study/practice questions at the end of every chapter
Gentle yet thorough, this book assumes no patterns experience
whatsoever. It's the ideal "first book" on patterns, and a perfect
complement to Gamma's classic "Design Patterns," If you're a
programmer or architect who wants the clearest possible
understanding of design patterns--or if you've struggled to make
them work for you--read this book.
