Description:

In the approximately ten years since the publication of the seminal work in thefield of design patterns (Gamma et al's Design Patterns), this practice hasmoved from being an esoteric part of computer science research to themainstream of software engineering. Yet despite their widespread acceptance,design patterns are frequently misunderstood. These authors learned patternsthe hard way, and their original aim in writing this book (providing the readerwith a gentle yet thorough introduction to design patterns) continues in thesecond edition. This book is the perfect book to read before the reader tries totackle Gamma's famous work, and has been updated to reflect recent trendsand developments…
