Features: This book explains the 23 basic design patterns introduced in the classic work "Design Patterns" (Addison-Wesley, 1995). In this new technical manual, these high-level patterns are divided into five main categories: Interface Class Patterns, Responsibility Class Patterns, Construction Class Patterns, Operation Class Patterns, and Extension Class Patterns. The chapters describing each category are designed to help you review and test your ability to apply design patterns in Java. Subsequent chapters provide detailed explanations of specific patterns, demonstrating them through UML diagrams and Java code, and then present programming exercises for you to experience on your own. Java programmers now have the ultimate weapon to unleash the power of design patterns. The carefully selected examples, exercises, and challenges of applying design patterns in this outstanding work will help you transform design pattern theory into reality. Steve Metsker's "learning by doing" approach not only enhances your practical skills but also builds your confidence in applying design patterns in key development tasks.
