Great code doesn't just function: It clearly and consistently communicates
your intentions, allowing other programmers to understand your code, rely on
it, and modify it with confidence. But great code doesn't just happen. It is
the outcome of hundreds of small but critical decisions programmers make every
single day. Now, legendary software innovator Kent Beck--known worldwide for
creating Extreme Programming and pioneering software patterns and test-driven
development--focuses on these critical decisions, unearthing powerful “implementation
patterns” for writing programs that are simpler, clearer, better organized,
and more cost-effective.
Beck identifies 77 new patterns for handling everyday programming tasks and
writing more readable code. These new patterns address many areas of development,
including class, state, behavior, method, collections, frameworks, and more.
You’ll find better solutions for handling everything from naming variables
to checking exceptions. He uses diagrams, stories, examples, and essays to present
each pattern in the most illuminating way possible.
The book covers
• The value of communicating through code, and the philosophy behind patterns
• How and when to create classes, and how classes encode logic
• Best practices for storing and retrieving state
• Behavior: Patterns for representing logic, including alternative paths
• Writing, naming, and decomposing methods
• Choosing and using collections
• Implementation pattern variations for use in building frameworks
Implementation Patterns will help programmers at all experience levels, especially
those who have benefited from software patterns or agile methods. It will also
be an indispensable resource for development teams seeking to work together
more efficiently and build more maintainable software. No other software engineering
book will touch your day-to-day work more often, and no other book will prove
more useful.
