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.
Preface.
1. Introduction.

Object Oriented Analysis and Design / Patterns  [PTG: AW PROFESSIONAL]   (Computer Science)

John Vlissides is a member of the research staff at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in Hawthorne, New York. He has practiced object-oriented technology for more than a decade as a designer, implementer, researcher, lecturer, and consultant. In addition to co-authoring Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, he is co-editor of the book Pattern Languages of Program Design 2 (both from Addison-Wesley). He and the other co-authors of Design Patterns are recipients of the 1998 Dr. Dobb's Journal Excellence in Programming Award.

This succinct, example-driven book empowers software developers who are using design patterns, arguably today's most popular object-oriented programming concept. Design Patterns' co-author John Vlissides blends his intimate knowledge of the pattern development process with practical techniques for better pattern application. The result is a thought-provoking guide that will help you improve your next software design by putting patterns to work successfully.

Pattern Hatching demystifies the fine points of patterns, placing them in the broader context of basic object-oriented design principles. It dispels many of the misconceptions about patterns that have spread in the software development community--clearly articulating what patterns are and how they ease the development process. The book also presents themes and variations on several established patterns, yielding many new insights. With the instruction in this book, you will become better able to tailor patterns to the design problem at hand.

  Design Patterns Explained: A New Perspective on Object-Oriented Design, 2/E
  Shalloway & Trott

  ISBN-10: 0321247140 | ISBN-13: 9780321247148
  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  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.

  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. The full source code is available on Addison-Wesley's web site.
