Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A missing link in learning to program Comment: Most of the books I have read about object oriented programming were about some specific language and failed to provide a more general way to think about solving problems without writing a lot of code. This book was a missing link for me and I wish I had read it sooner. The authors provide you with elegant ways to use object oriented language features to simplify your programming solutions. When the specs on your project change and you have to re-factor your code, you may be able to use a design pattern from this book to simplify your solution and make your design more flexible with regard to the parts of the spec that are changing quickly. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Tools Comment: This is a great book on design patterns. Not only does it cover the theory of what each pattern is and it's respective use. It also gives very concrete examples of the proper use of each pattern in C++. I highly reccomend this to any serious programmer. Customer Rating: Summary: Fundamentals of software design Comment: Contents of Disign Patterns are more and more classical in software engineering. The work is unaguable the basis which lead to a growth of design patterns. This particular issue is a high-quaulity hardcover on heavy paper, and good print. Its an issue for all who like to have a personal library of important book in superior quality. Well useful are the two bookmarks available in the robust binding. Customer Rating: Summary: WOW!!! Comment: Being a total noob to programming, my friend got me into learning about Objective-C and Cocoa. I have bought many books on the subject and I'd like to say that this book helped me with my understanding of objective-c programming language. Thanks to the authors Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful but it is difficult Comment: The book is wonderful and samples are very exciting and meaningful.But book is difficult,if you don't have any idea about design patterns,you cannot learn easily from his book.But If you are not new about Design patterns,this book is very useful.

Editorial Reviews: Design Patterns is a modern classic in the literature of object-oriented development, offering timeless and elegant solutions to common problems in software design. It describes patterns for managing object creation, composing objects into larger structures, and coordinating control flow between objects. The book provides numerous examples where using composition rather than inheritance can improve the reusability and flexibility of code. Note, though, that it's not a tutorial but a catalog that you can use to find an object-oriented design pattern that's appropriate for the needs of your particular application--a selection for virtuoso programmers who appreciate (or require) consistent, well-engineered object-oriented designs.
