Synopsis: This resource for programmers provides an introduction to the classic object-oriented design patterns, and explains how to use the latest features of C#3.0 to code them. The book draws on new C# 3.0 language and .NET framework features to implement 23 core programming design patterns that were originally proposed in Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlisside's Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software (1994). Discussion of each pattern touches on role, design, implementation, and real-world use, with examples and exercises. Special features of the book include pictorial representations of patterns, quizzes that relate the illustrations to UML diagrams, tables on choosing specific patterns, and comparison tables for patterns that are similar. C# 3. 0 features are introduced by example and summarized in sidebars for easy reference. B&W screenshots are included. The book is for programmers who are familiar with C#1.0 or Java 1.4. Although not written as a textbook, the book could be used in a mid-degree course on design patterns or advanced programming. Bishop is a computer scientist.
