Written on May 21, 2006 Summary: Excellent book for experienced programmers The book discusses how you can refactor your existing code using design patterns. Unlike many other pattern books it doesn't limit itself to the famous GoF patterns, also includes other less known ones. It has a clear structure, which is followed for all patterns: 1) shows the original design, 2) shows the target design, 3) gives background on the pattern discussed with pros and cons, 4) step-by-step takes you through the refactoring process. I find it very informative and use it as reference frequently. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the examples are sometimes complex ones, which are hard to follow in the way they are presented. Prefer to read more self-contained sort of books where you can understand the topic without additional supporting material (like code downloads). It would be better if the book showed the complete refactored code at the end of each pattern, to give the full picture. I recommend it for experienced programmers, who are already familiar with patterns because the book's main focus is rather the refactoring process than the introduction to the basics of patterns.  Written on February 16, 2006 Summary: Good detailed explanation on great concept Patterns Refactoring -- Perhaps the most important concepts in nowaday software development on complicated business platform. It's especially useful on the projects with critical design time phase in which the pattern design and refactor can be implemented on post-development phase. The Factory, Singleton, Adapter, Bridge, Decorator, Facade, Observer, Command, Template, Strategy, Mediator and State pattern are obviously purposed for elegant and well-maintainable technical design. Written on January 21, 2006 Summary: Great Concepts and Must-Read This book is one of my latest favorites although I picked from my work library..this book really a concepts guru. The author justifies why you need this book exploring what a typical developer do... right from the "Over Engineering", Patterns Panacea, Under Engineering...and finally justifing "Continous Refactoring". If you are developers, who realize patterns based approach then it is a must read. As a patterns fan, I chose to read this book after my favorite patterns collection GoF, Head first patterns, Core J2EE patterns, Core Security Patterns, Enterprise Integration Patterns ....and it truly made a difference so that I don't do over-engineering and under-engineering with my patterns. Written on December 8, 2005 Summary: Wonderfully complex and clear If you are interested in understanding design patterns explained in detail, yet also inplain English, then this is the guide for you. Many aspects of how patterns are implemented and even combined are explored and therefore the advice provided by the book can be applied to various scenarios. Well worth the money and a bit of rollercoaster ride of read...  Written on October 14, 2005 Summary: Finally a design pattern book for us, mortals.... Design pattern concepts can be rather abstract at times, and the absence of code samples can make some of these concepts even harder to visualize. In this book, the author does an excellent job of applying design pattern concepts to code refactoring, thereby helping illustrate such an abstract subject. The contents of the book are thoughtfully structured such that the reader can focus on a specific pattern or specific refactoring problem,instead of reading through the chapters sequentially. I found the UML diagrams especially helpful, since they clearly delineated the design before and after, refactoring. However, the book falls short in terms of utilizing some of the coding samples, as the author tries to step though each code sample and loses the reader in the process. These exercises would have been a lot more fruitful and lucid had there been source code for the designs, before and after refactoring. |
