Download or read book Refactoring to Patterns written by Joshua Kerievsky and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2004-08-05 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994, Design Patterns changed the landscape of object-oriented development by introducing classic solutions to recurring design problems. In 1999, Refactoring revolutionized design by introducing an effective process for improving code. With the highly anticipated Refactoring to Patterns, Joshua Kerievsky has changed our approach to design by forever uniting patterns with the evolutionary process of refactoring. This book introduces the theory and practice of pattern-directed refactorings: sequences of low-level refactorings that allow designers to safely move designs to, towards, or away from pattern implementations. Using code from real-world projects, Kerievsky documents the thinking and steps underlying over two dozen pattern-based design transformations. Along the way he offers insights into pattern differences and how to implement patterns in the simplest possible ways. Coverage includes: A catalog of twenty-seven pattern-directed refactorings, featuring real-world code examples Descriptions of twelve design smells that indicate the need for this book’s refactorings General information and new insights about patterns and refactoring Detailed implementation mechanics: how low-level refactorings are combined to implement high-level patterns Multiple ways to implement the same pattern–and when to use each Practical ways to get started even if you have little experience with patterns or refactoring Refactoring to Patterns reflects three years of refinement and the insights of more than sixty software engineering thought leaders in the global patterns, refactoring, and agile development communities. Whether you’re focused on legacy or “greenfield” development, this book will make you a better software designer by helping you learn how to make important design changes safely and effectively.
Download or read book The Joy of Handweaving written by Osma Tod and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first paperback edition of a manual well known to weavers for its great thoroughness, clarity, and value to beginning and professional weavers alike. The author has drawn upon many years of experience as a teacher and writer in preparing this practical text of basic weaving techniques and projects from the simplest to the extremely complex. Each topic of weaving theory and technique is presented with its practical applications in mind. Within the first thirty pages, readers learn enough to complete their first weaving project, a bookmark, and this leads directly to the weaving of rugs on a loom, the process of weaving on a two-harness loom, threading plain weave from a draft, making a two-harness table loom (readers following the clear diagram and instructions will have no trouble building the loom), preparing the weft, handling of threads, two-harness design methods, the weaving of rag rugs in plain weave, useful articles woven with striped warps and wefts, tapestry techniques, and design weaves. For advanced weavers, the second major section of the book covers a great variety of weaves for the four-harness loom and related information: how to warp and thread a four-harness loom, weaving both plain and pattern weave, the twill family of weaves and herringbone variations, the principles of overshot pattern weaving, the diamond or cross family, the monk's belt pattern and its uses, practical overshot patterns, designing drafts and special techniques, ways of weaving overshot, special four-harness techniques (summer and winter weave, the Bronson weave, the M's and O's weave, the crackle weave, the waffle weave, matta technique, syncopation, double weaving on a four-harness loom). The author then details multi-harness weaves such as multi-harness twill, eight-harness damask design, and several others. Then follow discussions of the uses of color in weaving designs, planning borders, the various draft notations (European and American), weaving with synthetic fibers, thread sizes, counts and yardage, and costs of handwoven fabrics. There is a thread chart of warp settings and suitable wefts. A final chapter gives instructions for making several projects from hand-woven fabrics (a folder for linens, a small ornamental box, jackets and suits, and others). The text is fully illustrated throughout with photographs and labelled diagrams.

Download or read book With Pleasure written by Anna Katz and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely and expansive survey of a groundbreaking American art movement that overturned aesthetic hierarchies in a riot of color and ornamentation The Pattern and Decoration movement emerged in the 1970s as an embrace of long-dismissed art forms associated with the decorative. Pioneering artists such as Miriam Schapiro (1923-2015), Joyce Kozloff (b. 1942), Robert Kushner (b. 1949), and others appropriated patterns, frequently from non-Western decorative arts, to produce intricate, often dizzying or gaudy designs in media ranging from painting, sculpture, and collage to ceramics, installation art, and performance. This dazzling book showcases an astonishing array of works by more than 40 artists from across the United States, examining the movement's defiant adoption of art forms traditionally viewed as feminine, craft-based, or otherwise inferior to fine art. In addition to offering an overview of the Pattern and Decoration movement as it is commonly recognized, this volume considers artists of the period who are not typically associated with the movement. Rethinking the significance of patterns and the decorative in postwar American art, this panoramic view provides new insights into abstraction, feminism, and installation art. Essays explore the movement's feminist methods and values, including Miriam Schapiro's "femmage" practice; its impact on contemporary abstract painting; and its relationship to postmodern architecture and design. Artist biographies, an exhibition history, and reprints of historically significant writings further establish With Pleasure as the most expansive publication on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take the struggle out of learning about design patterns! Through example-based teaching, "The Joy of Patterns" reveals the essence of design patterns as an advanced language for describing system design. This book illustrates how to build more efficient, robust, and reusable designs with this powerful programming paradigm. Design patterns have been used as integral techniques for creating better software, but getting started with design patterns has never been easy. Beginning with a description of the rationale behind design patterns, the discussion moves on to an overview of the basic pattern form, and then to a brief review of object-oriented concepts. Following this crucial background, the author presents a series of system design examples from initial conception all the way through code, discussing key design goals and the pros and cons of using various design patterns. Code is presented in Java, C++, and Visual Basic. The reader will gain insight into the inherent forces at work in the application design and the most effective application of numerous core design patterns as solutions to recurring programming problems. You will read and learn about such important ideas and topics as: Patterns as the language of design and the building blocks of architecture The value and use of many standard patterns in system design Extensible software development and change management Utilizing supporting patterns to prevent loose ends Testing and deploying new behaviors Understanding requirements and creating hinge points for entities that are likely to change "The Joy of Patterns "examines the relationship between specific programming languages andlanguage-independent design patterns. It also looks at the role of patterns in building systems from scratch through system maintenance and product evolution. With the background and deeper understanding harnessed from this book, you will have the ability to unleash the considerable power of design patterns and enhance the quality of your programming efforts. 0201657597B09072001
