Patterns in Java, Volume 1 (PDF)

"This is the best book on patterns since the Gang of Four's Design
Patterns. The book manages to be a resource for three of the most
important trends in professional programming: Patterns, Java, and
UML."

--Larry O'Brien, Founding Editor, Software Development
Magazine

Since the release of Design Patterns in 1994, patterns have
become one of the most important new technologies contributing to
software design and development. In this volume Mark Grand presents
41 design patterns that help you create more elegant and reusable
designs. He revisits the 23 "Gang of Four" design patterns from the
perspective of a Java programmer and introduces many new patterns
specifically for Java. Each pattern comes with the complete Java
source code and is diagrammed using UML.

Patterns in Java, Volume 1 gives you:

* 11 Behavioral Patterns, 9 Structural Patterns, 7 Concurrency
Patterns, 6 Creational Patterns, 5 Fundamental Design Patterns, and
3 Partitioning Patterns

* Real-world case studies that illustrate when and how to use the
patterns

* Introduction to UML with examples that demonstrate how to
express patterns using UML

The CD-ROM contains:

* Java source code for the 41 design patterns

* Trial versions of Together/J Whiteboard Edition from Object
International (www.togetherj.com); Rational Rose 98 from Rational
Software (www.rational.com); System Architect from Popkin Software
