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 new C# and 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 reader feedback, 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.
