In-depth coverage of forty-seven Java design patterns. Since the publication of the first edition in 1998, programmers and developers have been waiting eagerly for an update to this expert guide on how to use Java in conjunction with the timesaving design patterns that have surfaced in the past few years. With the new edition of his bestselling Patterns in Java, Volume 1, Mark Grand brings you up to date with the latest release of Java and many of the important concerns facing Java programmers today. If you are a programmer or developer who wants to take advantage of new patterns, but doesn't have the time or experience to document them for your organization, this book is for you. As with the first edition, each pattern is documented in UML and, where appropriate, a code example or an example in the core Java API is provided.
