1. Head First Design Patterns 2. Book Description Youre not alone. At any given moment, somewhere in the world someonestruggles with the same software design problems you have.You know you dont want to reinvent the wheel (or worse, a flattire), so you look to Design Patterns--the lessons learned bythose whove faced the same problems. With Design Patterns,you get to take advantage of the best practices and experienceof others, so that you can spend your time on...something else.Something more challenging. Something more complex.Something more fun. 3. Book Description You want to learn about the patterns that matter--why to usethem, when to use them, how to use them (and when NOT touse them). But you dont just want to see how patterns look in abook, you want to know how they look "in the wild". In theirnative environment. In other words, in real world applications.You also want to learn how patterns are used in the Java API,and how to exploit Javas built-in pattern support in your owncode. You want to learn the real OO design principles and whyeverything your boss told you about inheritance might be wrong(and what to do instead). You want to learn how thoseprinciples will help the next time youre up a creek without adesign pattern. 4. Book Description Most importantly, you want to learn the "secret language" ofDesign Patterns so that you can hold your own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests) when he casuallymentions his stunningly clever use of Command, Facade,Proxy, and Factory in between sips of a martini. Youll easilycounter with your deep understanding of why Singleton isnt assimple as it sounds, how the Factory is so oftenmisunderstood, or on the real relationship between Decorator,Facade and Adapter. 5.
