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

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.
