In The Patterns Handbook, Linda Rising has selected seminal articles and essays that illustrate the growing importance of patterns in application development. In this important collection, you will find articles on pattern writing, pattern templates, system test patterns, frameworks and design patterns, how patterns work in teams, patterns and antipatterns, and patterns of thought. A partial list of well published experts includes James Coplien, Kent Beck, Grady Booch, Ralph Johnson, Robert Martin, Andrew Koenig, and John Vlissides. This reference contains an overview, examples and experience, resources, an annotated bibliography, and contact information. The use of patterns leads to successful solutions to recurring problems. This book will show you how to use patterns to improve productivity and quality and to become a better software designer.
- Contains articles from some of the top experts in the field, including James Coplien, Kent Beck, Grady Booch, and Robert Martin
- Tells a story of corporate success by gathering articles written by employees of the same company, AG Communications Systems
- Details the successes of pattern techniques, strategies and applications, but also debunks hyperbole by pointing out its limits
Reviews & endorsements
'I think this is one of the more useful books about Patterns that I have come across. Its unity spans a wide ranch from those curious about ideas … to those who are already regular users of Pattern concepts. Definitely one for your bookshelf.' Journal of the Assoication of C & C++ Users
