Design Patterns Explained: A New Perspective On Object-Oriented Design, 2e

DESCRIPTION

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 updated Java examples, it shows programmers and architects exactly how to use patterns to design, develop, and deliver software far more effectively.

This guide for software developers describes the basic principles underlying object-oriented programming and design patterns. The volume begins with introductory material on object-oriented software development and the limitations of traditional object-oriented design. The rest of the text is devoted to an exploration of ten commonly-used design patterns, such as the facade, adapter, bridge, observer, double-checked locking, and factory method patterns.
