A goldmine of timesaving Java Patterns— and how to make them work for you.

The godsend for which programmers and developers have been waiting is here: a comprehensive guide to using Java and Design Patterns together. Featuring complete coverage of the patterns that can occur in any project's development, Java guru Mark Grand looks at all of the re-usable patterns already circulating in the community, introduces several new patterns, and clearly demonstrates how to write your own Java patterns in UML. "Patterns in Java" is a timely response to the growing emphasis on design in object-oriented projects, smoothly guiding programmers through the early, error-prone stages of development. The book also features invaluable case studies readers can follow and learn from as they do their own work and, best of all, includes over 50 different Java Patterns with examples and complete code.

CD-ROM contains over 50 Design Patterns in Java.

Presents 41 design patterns complete with Java source code and a UML diagram. Provides an introduction to software patterns, an overview of UML, a chapter on the software life cycle, and several patterns of different types: behavioral, structural, concurrency, creational, fundamental, and partitioning. The CD-ROM contains Java code for the patterns, trial versions of Together from Object International, Rational Rose 98 from Rational Software, System Architect from Popkin Software, and OptimizeIt from Intuitive Systems.
