“One of the great things about the book is the way the authors explain concepts very simply using analogies rather than programming examples–this has been very inspiring for a product I’m working on: an audio-only introduction to OOP and software development.”
–Bruce Eckel
“…I would expect that readers with a basic understanding of object-oriented programming and design would find this book useful, before approaching design patterns completely. Design Patterns Explained complements the existing design patterns texts and may perform a very useful role, fitting between introductory texts such as UML Distilled and the more advanced patterns books.”
–James Noble
Leverage the quality and productivity benefits of patterns–without the complexity! Design Patterns Explained, Second Edition is the field’s simplest, clearest, most practical introduction to patterns.
