However, many busy Java programmers have yet to learn about design patterns and incorporate this powerful technology into their work. <P>Java(tm) Design Patterns is exactly the tutorial resource you need. Gentle and clearly written, it helps you understand the nature and purpose of design patterns. It also serves as a practical guide to using design patterns to create sophisticated, robust Java programs. <P>This book presents the 23 patterns cataloged in the flagship book Design Patterns by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides. In Java(tm) Design Patterns, each of these patterns is illustrated by at least one complete visual Java program. This practical approach makes design pattern concepts more concrete and easier to grasp, brings Java programmers up to speed quickly, and enables you to take practical advantage of the power of design patterns. <P>Key features include: <P>* Introductory overviews of design patterns, the Java Foundation Classes (JFC), and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) * Screen shots of each of the programs * UML diagrams illustrating interactions between the classes, along with the original JVISION diagram files * An explanation of the Java Foundation Classes that illustrates numerous design patterns * Case studies demonstrating the usefulness of design patterns in solving Java programming problems * A CD containing all of the examples in the book, so you can run, edit, and modify the complete working programs <P>After reading this tutorial, you will be comfortable with the basics of design patterns and will be able to start using them effectively in your day-to-day Java programming work. 463875 13 2 2000 Java Design Patterns: A Tutorial total:1|2:1| 1 2 11 0 0 0 false false Mon Nov 09 20:31:44 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 20:31:44 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 01 23:36:36 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 23:36:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 08:59:17 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 08:59:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 25 10:39:28 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 10:39:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 05 17:05:05 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 17:05:05 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Mon Oct 20 13:22:13 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 20 13:22:13 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 27 11:48:06 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 11:48:06 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jun 14 08:18:29 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 14 08:18:29 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Apr 22 10:18:11 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 22 10:18:11 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Mar 27 11:09:39 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 27 11:09:39 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Dec 08 10:12:13 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 08 10:12:13 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=475633
