Christiansson Benneth. GoF Design Patterns

2008. — 86 p.This book is the result of a joint effort of the authors with an equal contribution from all. The idea to the book originated during the
participation of a Java Architect training program taught at Logica Sverige AB Karlstad office. During the course the authors identified the lack of a quick-guidebook to the basic GoF 1 design patterns. A book that could be used as a bare bone reference as well as a learning companion for
understanding design patterns. So we divided the workload and together we created an up-to-date view of the GoF design patterns in a structured and uniform manner. Illustrating the choosen patterns with examples in Java and diagrams using UML2 notation. We have also emphasized benefits and drawbacks for the individual patterns and, where applicable. We also illustrate real world usage situations where the pattern has successfully been implemented.
