Download or read book Design Patterns written by Christopher G. Lasater and published by Wordware Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design Patterns demonstrates how software developers can improve the performance, maintainability, portability, and scalability of their code through the use of the Gang of Four design patterns. After a discussion of patterns methodology, reasons for using design patterns, the book delves into each of the 23 patterns. Each pattern section gives a detailed description of the pattern, refactored from either Boolean logic or simpler, less-maintainable code that you might encounter in the real world, and shows readers how to use the pattern in their code. The text walks readers through making the move from current code to the pattern, lists the benefits of using the pattern, and shows how the pattern performs after the refactoring effort, with a goal throughout of providing practical implementations.

This book was released on 2013-12-23 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By introducing a balanced scorecard to work out a management strategy in the viewpoint which is the optimal for the whole and to promote the strategy management which is useful for the performance evaluating, it shows the power to be outstanding in to the business management. It is the one which is useful of a lifestyle of a life design by the office worker to design tactically in addition to showing an effect in the business reform and the performance evaluating and to visualize them. This manual is the introduction to have introduced the know-how which utilizes a balance scorecard practicing-ly to. To apply a balanced scorecard in the place of the business management practicing-ly, the training to learn much near case study from after understanding the basic logic practicing-ly is valid. In the design of the balanced scorecard, their basic structure and the feature must be understood about the management vision, KGI, KPI, SWOT, the strategy mapping. Therefore, in 10 case studies which are useful for the business management reform and the skill improvement, the training which creates KGI, KPI, SWOT analysis, strategy mapping in the unaided in the balanced scorecard can be experienced. It adopts the composition as the skill which masters a balanced scorecard can be acquired by checking the balanced scorecard to have designed in the unaided of with the specific solution example. Let's introduce the composition of this manual. Chapter 1 is introducing the basic logic of the balanced scorecard. The individual is introducing the practice step of the balanced scorecard which consists of 7 steps. Chapter 2 explains the point of the basic structure, the way of thinking, the approach of the tool which composes a balanced scorecard in detail and introduces the step to create actually using the training sheet. Well, it takes up the many case studies which seem to encounter in the daily life to attempt for the skill as the office worker to improve and to acquire the skill which can play an active part by the business management reform. Well, as the practice theme about the business management reform, it is preparing case study resemblance by the management problems such as the earning capacity reinforcement and the cost reduction, the product competition power reinforcement. The individual can learn the skill and the know-how to attempt the solution of Planning Division title, using a balanced scorecard. By above composition, it expects that this manual contributes to the business person as the business initiation book in the times which change suddenly in the tide by the globalization.

Download or read book Enterprise Patterns and MDA written by Jim Simon Plumtree and published by Addison-Wesley Professional. This book was released on 2003-12-22 with total page 1164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enterprise Patterns and MDA teaches you how to customize any archetype pattern–such as Customer, Product, and Order–to reflect the idiosyncrasies of your own business environment. Because all the patterns work harmoniously together and have clearly documented relationships to each other, you’ll come away with a host of reusable solutions to common problems in business-software design. This book shows you how using a pattern or a fragment of a pattern can save you months of work and help you avoid costly errors. You’ll also discover how–when used in literate modeling–patterns can solve the difficult challenge of communicating UML models to broad audiences. The configurable patterns can be used manually to create executable code. However, the authors draw on their extensive experience to show you how to tap the significant power of MDA and UML for maximum automation. Not surprisingly, the patterns included in this book are highly valuable; a blue-chip company recently valued a similar, but less mature, set of patterns at hundreds of thousands of dollars. Use this practical guide to increase the efficiency of your designs and to create robust business applications that can be applied immediately in a business setting.
Download or read book Design Patterns and Best Practices in Java written by Kamalmeet Singh and published by Packt Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Create various design patterns to master the art of solving problems using Java Key Features This book demonstrates the shift from OOP to functional programming and covers reactive and functional patterns in a clear and step-by-step manner All the design patterns come with a practical use case as part of the explanation, which will improve your productivity Tackle all kinds of performance-related issues and streamline your development Book Description Having a knowledge of design patterns enables you, as a developer, to improve your code base, promote code reuse, and make the architecture more robust. As languages evolve, new features take time to fully understand before they are adopted en masse. The mission of this book is to ease the adoption of the latest trends and provide good practices for programmers. We focus on showing you the practical aspects of smarter coding in Java. We'll start off by going over object-oriented (OOP) and functional programming (FP) paradigms, moving on to describe the most frequently used design patterns in their classical format and explain how Java’s functional programming features are changing them. You will learn to enhance implementations by mixing OOP and FP, and finally get to know about the reactive programming model, where FP and OOP are used in conjunction with a view to writing better code. Gradually, the book will show you the latest trends in architecture, moving from MVC to microservices and serverless architecture. We will finish off by highlighting the new Java features and best practices. By the end of the book, you will be able to efficiently address common problems faced while developing applications and be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size. What you will learn Understand the OOP and FP paradigms Explore the traditional Java design patterns Get to know the new functional features of Java See how design patterns are changed and affected by the new features Discover what reactive programming is and why is it the natural augmentation of FP Work with reactive design patterns and find the best ways to solve common problems using them See the latest trends in architecture and the shift from MVC to serverless applications Use best practices when working with the new features Who this book is for This book is for those who are familiar with Java development and want to be in the driver’s seat when it comes to modern development techniques. Basic OOP Java programming experience and elementary familiarity with Java is expected.
