The existing books on design patterns take a “catalog” approach, where
they show the individual design patterns in isolation. This approach is fundamentally
flawed because you can’t see how the design patterns actually function in
the real world. Most programmers learn by looking at computer programs.
Holub on Patterns: Learning Design Patterns by Looking at Code teaches you
design patterns in exactly this way: by looking at computer programs and analyzing
them in terms of the patterns that they use. Consequently, you learn how the
patterns actually occur in the real world and how to apply the patterns to solve
real problems.
This book also looks at the broader context of object-oriented (OO) design
and how patterns solve commonplace OO design problems. It covers many of the
principles of OO design—principles not covered by most books on Java—and
shows you how to apply these principles to make your code easier to maintain
and debug.
