Synopsis

Software engineering and computer science students need a resource that explains how to apply design patterns at the enterprise level, allowing them to design and implement systems of high stability and quality.

Software Architecture Design Patterns in Java is a detailed explanation of how to apply design patterns and develop software architectures. It provides in-depth examples in Java, and guides students by detailing when, why, and how to use specific patterns.

This textbook presents 42 design patterns, including 23 GoF patterns. Categories include: Basic, Creational, Collectional, Structural, Behavioral, and Concurrency, with multiple examples for each. The discussion of each pattern includes an example implemented in Java. The source code for all examples is found on a companion Web site.

The author explains the content so that it is easy to understand, and each pattern discussion includes Practice Questions to aid instructors. The textbook concludes with a case study that pulls several patterns together to demonstrate how patterns are not applied in isolation, but collaborate within domains to solve complicated problems.

About this title

Review:

"Kuchana does a good job contrasting patterns that may seem similar to the novice. This is a useful addition to a collection on software design patterns." - CHOICE, Feb. 2005, Vol. 42, No. 06 "Why am I so pleased with this book? What makes it any different than other design pattern books? Well, first of all the volume is huge. Kuchana's book covers all the original Gang of Four patterns plus another 20 or so patterns, including a couple of multithreading related patterns. Second, the text itself is very readable and doesn't cling too much on fancy words. The explanations are concise and to the pointAll in all a very good choice for filling the gaping design patterns encyclopedia slot in your bookshelf. Highly recommended." "Partha Kuchana is an experienced Enterprise Systems Architect. He understands that patterns are not about things that are just good ideas, but that patterns are about capturing knowledge bred from experience. This hard-won knowledge is what Partha is sharing with readers of his bookKeep it handy for all those 'How do I do this in Java?' questions where you wish you had an expert in the office next door to provide answers. This book is the next best thing." Linda Rising, from The Foreword
