Design Patterns Explained
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. Using dozens of new C# and updated Java examples, it shows programmers
and architects exactly how to use patterns to design, develop, and deliver
software far more effectively.
You`ll start with a complete overview of the fundamental principles of patterns,
and the role of object-oriented analysis and design in contemporary software
development. Then, using easy-to-understand sample code, Alan Shalloway and
James Trott illuminate dozens of today`s most useful patterns: their underlying
concepts, advantages, tradeoffs, implementation techniques, and pitfalls to
avoid. Many patterns are accompanied by UML diagrams.
Building on their best-selling First Edition, Shalloway and Trott have
thoroughly updated this book to reflect new software design trends, patterns,
and implementation techniques. Reflecting extensive reader feedback, they have
deepened and clarified coverage throughout, and reorganized content for even
greater ease of understanding. New and revamped coverage in this edition
includes:
Better ways to start thinking in patterns
How design patterns can facilitate agile development using eXtreme
Programming and other methods
How to use commonality and variability analysis to design application
architectures
The key role of testing into a patterns-driven development process
How to use factories to instantiate and manage objects more effectively
The Object-Pool Pattern--a new pattern not identified by the Gang of
Four
New study/practice questions at the end of every chapter
Gentle yet thorough, this book assumes no patterns experience whatsoever. It`s the ideal first book on patterns, and a perfect complement to Gamma`s clas

Designs for Pyrography and Other Crafts
Crafters are always on the lookout for great designs to use in their work--and this collection of copyright-free patterns is a valuable sourcebook that will fill that need. Including motifs, boxes, borders, and swags, these design elements are easy to mix, match, combine, and tailor to fit any particular craft or desire. But pyrographers in particular may want to use them as they are, and take special advantage of instructions that illuminate the best methods for tracing and transferring, enlarging and reducing the patterns for their art. And for truly professional results, follow the advice on shading, perspective, creating shadows, and adding color. The beautiful subjects include birds, butterflies, and insects; buildings; country scenes; trees, flowers, and fruits; celebrations; and alphabets.

Whole to Part Phonics
Significant recent research in literacy learning casts serious doubt on the effectiveness of traditional phonics instruction. Researchers have discovered that traditional phonics, with its emphasis on letters, sounds, and words, ignores the complexity of children's natural learning processes, including children's inclination to focus first on the text, then on whole words, and then on their constituent parts. Whole to Part Phonics offers a concise, accessible introduction to this research and proven...
