Recognize solutions to common problems in software design with C#Explore real-world applications of design patterns that can be used in your everyday workGet to grips with 14 patterns and their design implementations
Book Description
As a software developer, you need to learn new languages and simultaneously get familiarized with the programming paradigms and methods of leveraging patterns, as both a communications tool and an advantage when designing well-written, easy-to-maintain code. Design patterns, being a collection of best practices, provide the necessary wisdom to help you overcome common sets of challenges in object-oriented design and programming.
This practical guide to design patterns helps C# developers put their programming knowledge to work. The book takes a hands-on approach to introducing patterns and anti-patterns, elaborating on 14 patterns along with their real-world implementations. Throughout the book, you'll understand the implementation of each pattern, as well as find out how to successfully implement those patterns in C# code within the context of a real-world project.
By the end of this design patterns book, you'll be able to recognize situations that tempt you to reinvent the wheel, and quickly avoid the time and cost associated with solving common and well-understood problems with battle-tested design patterns.
What you will learn
Get to grips with patterns, and discover how to conceive and document themExplore common patterns that may come up in your everyday workRecognize common anti-patterns early in the processUse creational patterns to create flexible and robust object structuresEnhance class designs with structural patternsSimplify object interaction and behavior with behavioral patterns
Who this book is for
This book is for beginner and mid-level software developers who are looking to take their object-oriented programs or software designing skills to the next level by learning to leverage common patterns. A firm grasp of programming fundamentals and classical object-oriented programming (OOP) using languages like C#, C++, Objective-C, or Java is expected.
