Design Patterns in Java™  gives you the hands-on practice and deep insight you need to fully leverage the significant power of design patterns in any Java software project. The perfect complement to the classic Design Patterns, this learn-by-doing workbook applies the latest Java features and best practices to all of the original 23 patterns identified in that groundbreaking text. Drawing on their extensive experience as Java instructors and programmers, Steve Metsker and Bill Wake illuminate each pattern with real Java programs, clear UML diagrams, and compelling exercises. You'll move quickly from theory to application—learning how to improve new code and refactor existing code for simplicity, manageability, and performance.   Coverage includes  Using Adapter to provide consistent interfaces to clients   Using Facade to simplify the use of reusable toolkits   Understanding the role of Bridge in Java database connectivity   The Observer pattern, Model-View-Controller, and GUI behavior   Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and the Proxy pattern   Streamlining designs using the Chain of Responsibility pattern   Using patterns to go beyond Java's built-in constructor features   Implementing Undo capabilities with Memento    Using the State pattern to manage state more cleanly and simply   Optimizing existing codebases with extension patterns   Providing thread-safe iteration with the Iterator pattern   Using Visitor to define new operations without changing hierarchy classes  If you're a Java programmer wanting to save time while writing better code, this book's techniques, tips, and clear explanations and examples will help you harness the power of patterns to improve every program you write, design, or maintain.

You know what XP is, how to get it up and running, and how to plan projects using it. Now its time to expand your use of Extreme Programming and learn the best practices of this popular discipline. In Extreme Programming Explored, you can read about best practices as learned from the concrete experience of successful XP developers. Author and programmer Bill Wake provides answers to practical questions about XP implementation. Using hands-on examples--including code samples written in the Java programming language--this book demonstrates the day-to-day mechanics of working on an XP team and shows well-defined methods for carrying out a successful XP project. The book is divided into three parts: *Part 1, Programming--programming incrementally, test-first, and refactoring. *Part 2, Team Practices--code ownership, integration, overtime, and pair programming; how XP approaches system architecture; and how a system metaphor shapes a common vision, a shared vocabulary, and the architecture. *Part 3, Processes--how to write stories to plan a release; how to plan iterations; and the activities in a typical day for the customer, the programmer, and the manager of an XP project.

Design Patterns in Java(TM) (Software Patterns Series)

The First Hands-On, Practical, All-Ruby Refactoring Workbook! Refactoring–the art of improving the design of existing code–has taken the world by storm. So has Ruby. Now, for the first time, there’s a refactoring workbook designed from the ground up for the dynamic Ruby language. Refactoring in Ruby gives you all the realistic, hands-on practice you need to refactor Ruby code quickly and effectively. You’ll discover how to recognize “code smells,” which signal opportunities for improvement, and then perfect your program’s design one small, safe step at a time. The book shows you when and how to refactor with both legacy code and during new test-driven development, and walks you through real-world refactoring in detail. The workbook concludes with several applications designed to help practice refactoring in realistic domains, plus a handy code review checklist you’ll refer to again and again. Along the way, you’ll learn powerful lessons about designing higher quality Ruby software–lessons that will enable you to experience the joy of writing consistently great code. Refactoring in Ruby will help you <ul>
<li> Recognize why poor code design occurs, so you can prevent it from occurring in your own code </li>
<li> Master better design techniques that lead to more efficient, reliable, and maintainable software </li>
<li> Fix code that’s too long, large, or difficult to follow </li>
<li> Ferret out duplication, and express each idea “once and only once” </li>
<li> Recognize missing or inadequately formed classes </li>
<li> Simplify overly complex relationships between classes and their subclasses </li>
<li> Achieve the right balance of responsibilities among objects </li>
<li> Make your code easier to test and change </li>
<li> Cope with incomplete library modules, and fix runaway dependencies </li>
<li> Learn the next steps to take after you refactor </li> </ul>

The intention of this book is that it should contain everything an engineer needs to know to be able to design and produce adhesively bonded joints which are required to carry significant loads. The advan tages and disadvantages of bonding are given, together with a sufficient understanding of the necessary mechanics and chemistry to enable the designer to make a sound engineering judgement in any particular case. The stresses in joints are discussed extensively so that the engineer can get sufficient philosophy or feel for them, or can delve more deeply into the mathematics to obtain quantitative solutions even with elasto plastic behaviour. A critical description is given of standard methods of testing adhesives, both destructively and non-destructively. The essen tial chemistry of adhesives and the importance of surface preparation are described and guidance is given for adhesive selection by me ans of check lists. For many applications, there will not be a unique adhesive which alone is suitable, and factors such as cost, convenience, produc tion considerations or familiarity may be decisive. A list of applications is given as examples. The authors wish to increase the confidence of engineers using adhesive bonding in load-bearing applications by the information and experience presented. With increasing experience of adhesives en gineering, design will become more elegant as weH as more fitted to its products.
