Java Design Pattern Essentials Kindle Edition

Once you’ve learned the fundamentals of Java, understanding Design Patterns is essential for writing clear, concise and effective code. This book gives you a step-by-step guide to object-oriented development, using tried and trusted techniques. The examples have been kept simple, enabling you to concentrate on understanding the concepts and application of each pattern. All examples have been designed around a common theme, making it easier to see how they relate to each other and how you can adapt them to your applications. While the book assumes a basic knowledge of Java you don’t need to be a guru. This book is perfect for the programmer wishing to take their skills to the next level, and feel confident about using Java in real applications. Coverage includes all 23 of the patterns from the “Gang of Four” work, additional patterns including Model-View-Controller, and simple UML diagrams.

I liked the common theme of Vehicle Manufacturing and its usage in all Gof patterns. It can be quick be reference .

I didn’t like the approach , Author has one example “Foo bar company” which is modified every time to explain new design pattern.

Great Book, but needed more reviewing before printing, still very good at what it does though.

As my first look into design patterns was with a copy of “Head First Design Patterns” I was very happy when i received this book as an alternative.
The Head First series has always been difficult for me to read, the comic book strip like content doesn’t put me in the frame of mind to learn, I don’t care about Jimmy the criminal’s story, or for pictures of 1950’s housewives when im learning.
This book “Java Design Pattern Essentials – Second Edition” on the other hand is a condensed, clean and no nonsense intro to the Gang Of Four design patterns I had kept hearing about, and written with Java, which was a must for me, as the last thing I want when attempting to learn something is to do the C++ to Java conversion in my head, that’s just one extra hurdle i try and avoid where possible.
The ONLY down vote I would give this book, and hence my 4 star review and not 5 star, is the amount of easily avoidable errors.
Just go to the main distributors website to see the Errata, there is more or less a mistake in what seems like every chapter. Which wasn’t a big issue as the Java used is beginner level stuff, so most people will see the errors, but that’s EXACTLY the point. If I can see these, why didn’t they get picked up before printing?
I’m sure 5 or 10 people with MUCH MUCH MUCH more Java experience than me read this cover to cover before hand, but these errors still got into the print.
Its just a shame, as I have other books, much more technical than this, and 10 times the size with a fraction of the errors.
But despite this, don’t be put off, its well worth the money if you want a clean, clear entry into Design Patterns
Good luck with your studies. 🙂

Really useful. Some practical experience assumed

Got this after starting the GoF original “Design patterns” book, realizing the potential but getting bogged down mentally translating the C++ into java. It’s just the right size for a busy programmer, setting the scene and throwing the tools at you. I recognized 3 straight away from a colleague’s designs – the abstract factory pattern by the way gives you a real insight into how to use collections and generics in java. Really useful. Some practical experience assumed.

Very clear and helpful

Very clear and helpful. Just the right length and the diagrams are useful. It is easy to over-complicate these conceptual ideas but this book doesn’t make that mistake. Another reviewer said that more real-world examples would help. However each pattern is explained in the context of a simple class hierarchy based on cars and engine. I think that is example enough.

cool dude

Get the paperback version.

The code sections are double spaced and formatted as if it was in notepad. It’s acceptable and far easier to navigate on Kindle than on a book
The paperback book version is excellent
