Design Patterns Explained: A New Perspective on Object Oriented Design, 2nd Edition Review: This was the book I needed - superb explanation, gentle intro to OO lingo - As a EE major, I didn't get training in OOP, design patterns, or OOP design methods back in the day. I picked up iOS app development for fun, but still couldn't get my head around the OO part of it, and how to get from idea to code. So I was left with finding someone else's code blocks and editing them, hoping that they didn't break. Many tutorials regarding patterns I saw online showed me a design pattern and some code to go with it. They were easy enough to understand, but not to apply. There was still a gap where I couldn't take my idea into OO code. This book bridged the gap! I'm certainly no expert yet, but the explanation made in this book is very clear and now I know what I need to do to get there. Review: Great Book.Goes beyond patterns - This book makes design patterns practical. It also presents an insightful perspective on how to design and write good code. Specifically, it helps you to move beyond simple concepts like "is a" and "has a". It shows how using inheritance to handle specification leads to greater complexity and too many classes. It shows you how to abstract out variability. This allows you to avoid the temptation to copy and paste code. Instead you abstract it out and reuse it. This makes your code base smaller more maintainable and it compiles faster. I think this book is a must read for any good developer. Other reviews have complained about the lack for code in this book. If you are looking for a book to show you how to write code that implements a specific pattern in a specific language this book is not for you. This book is a higher level book that focuses on the concepts of good design that are true for all object oriented languages. There are other books that go into the specifics of various languages. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0321247140 | | Best Sellers Rank | #400,936 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #21 in Object-Oriented Software Design #112 in Object-Oriented Design #1,035 in Computer Software (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (134) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.06 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 9780321247148 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0321247148 | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 468 pages | | Publication date | October 12, 2004 | | Publisher | Addison-Wesley | ## Images ![Design Patterns Explained: A New Perspective on Object Oriented Design, 2nd Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pJDzjUJ1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was the book I needed - superb explanation, gentle intro to OO lingo *by R***E on February 8, 2024* As a EE major, I didn't get training in OOP, design patterns, or OOP design methods back in the day.
