  Design Patterns Explained, Second Edition is a simple, clear, and practical introduction to patterns.  Using dozens of new C# and updated Java examples, it shows students how to use patterns to design, develop, and deliver software far more effectively. Students should read this book before they they try and tackle Gamma's well-known work, Design Patterns. 

  The book starts 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 reader feedback, they have deepened and clarified coverage throughout, and reorganized content for even greater ease of understanding.

Alan Shalloway is the founder, CEO, and principal consultant of Net Objectives, an object-oriented consulting/training organization. He has a master's degree in computer science from MIT, over thirty years of experience in software development, and several years of experience in mentoring and training. He spends much of his time offering courses in design patterns, OOA, OOD, and lightweight methodologies, and building advanced software for both his own company and his clients.

James R. Trott is a senior consultant for a large software company in the Pacific Northwest and formerly was a senior engineer for a large aerospace company. He holds a master of science in applied mathematics, an MBA, and a master of arts in intercultural studies. He has spent seventeen years in the field of artificial intelligence, knowledge modeling, and knowledge management and is an expert in using cognitive design patterns and the KADS methodology.

"...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

Design Patterns Explained: A New Perspective on Object-Oriented Design draws together the principles of object-oriented programming with the power of design patterns to create an environment for robust and reliable software development. Packed with practical and applicable examples, this book teaches you to solve common programming problems with patterns--and explains the advantages of patterns for modern software design.

Beginning with a complete overview of the fundamentals of patterns, Design Patterns Explained stresses the importance of analysis and design. The authors clearly demonstrate how patterns can facilitate the overall development process. Throughout the book, key object-oriented design principles are explained, along with the concepts and benefits behind specific patterns. With illustrative examples in C++ and Java, the book demystifies the "whys," "why nots," and "hows" of patterns and explains pattern implementation.

Key topics covered include:

• New perspectives on objects, encapsulation, and inheritance
• The idea of design patterns, their origins, and how they apply in the discipline of software design
• Pattern-based, object-oriented software development using the Unified Modeling Language (UML)
• How to implement critical patterns--Strategy, Observer, Bridge, Decorator, and many more
• Commonality/Variability Analysis and design patterns, and how they aid in understanding abstract classes

From analysis to implementation, Design Patterns Explained allows you to unleash the true potential of patterns and paves the path for improving your overall designs. This book provides newcomers with a genuinely accurate and helpful introduction to object-oriented design patterns.

  Design Patterns in C#
  Metsker
  ©2004 | Addison-Wesley Professional | Cloth; 480 pp | Out of Stock

  For students learning in the Microsoft environment, this book is a companion to the original Design Patterns text tailored to the C#. This book is an application book, rather than a theoretical one. It is written for students who want to gain a better understanding of the patterns described in the seminal design patterns book by Gamma et al. The book's intent is to give students the confidence and know-how to apply the original 23 patterns identified in the Gamma book, with all code examples provided in C#.

  Finally, a companion to the seminal book, Design Patterns, 0-201-63361-2, that allows students to learn patterns using Java as opposed to C++, which was used in the original work. By working through the challenges presented in Design Patterns Java™ Workbook, the student will learn to recognize and apply a large portion of the accumulated wisdom of the software community. The author uses a workbook approach because he believes that students will not truly learn the material by reading it, but by “doing it.” The accompanying CD-ROM will include all code examples included in the book as well as some bonus code examples not found in the book. As the title suggests, all samples will be in Java.

  In this book, intended as a language companion to Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by Gamma, Helm, Johnson & Vlissides, noted Smalltalk and design patterns experts implement the 23 design patterns using Smalltalk code. Using the same successful format as Design Patterns, this book tailors the topic of design patterns to the Smalltalk programmer - no other book offers this. The authors have worked closely with the Design Patterns authors to ensure that this companion volume is held to the same high quality standards that made the original a best-seller.

  Software developers now recognize the value of design patterns in helping build better software more efficiently. As a result, design patterns have become extremely popular in the software development community. Pattern Hatching explains and enhances the information from the seminal work in the field, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. The hands-on approach offered by John Vlissides, co-author of Design Patterns, enables you to better understand the pattern development process, and therefore identify and write your own patterns. The author's insights will further allow you to apply the original 23 patterns by example. Foreword.
