Programming in the Large with Design Patterns (Paperback)

Programming in the Large with Design Patterns is a terrific resource for learning about design patterns. It starts with a general introduction to all types of programming patterns and goes on to describe 10 of the most popular design patterns in detail: Singleton, Iterator, Adapter, Decorator, State, Strategy, Factory Method, Observer, Facade and Template Method. Each pattern is introduced with a non-technical example or story that illustrates the pattern concept. The details are described with Java code examples and UML diagrams. Each pattern description also includes a discussion section that offers more in-depth information for the curious. For example, the discussion section for Singleton explains why introducing a singleton is only marginally better than using a global variable. Instructor resources, including PowerPoint presentation slides and review questions with answers, are available at the companion website http://programminglarge.com/.

《大型程式設計與設計模式》是一本學習設計模式的絕佳資源。它首先提供了對所有類型的程式設計模式的一般介紹，然後詳細描述了10種最受歡迎的設計模式：Singleton、Iterator、Adapter、Decorator、State、Strategy、Factory Method、Observer、Facade和Template Method。每個模式都以非技術性的例子或故事來介紹模式概念。詳細內容則使用Java程式碼示例和UML圖表進行描述。每個模式描述還包括一個討論部分，提供更深入的資訊給有興趣的讀者。例如，Singleton的討論部分解釋了為什麼引入單例模式只比使用全域變數稍微好一點。教學資源，包括PowerPoint簡報和帶答案的複習問題，可在配套網站http://programminglarge.com/上獲得。
