Features- It describes what patterns are and how they can help you design object-oriented software.
- You will learn how these important patterns fit into the software development process, and how you can leverage them to solve your own design problems most efficiently.
- Each pattern describes the circumstances in which it is applicable, when it can be applied in view of other design constraints
- All patterns are compiled from real systems and are based on real-world examples.
- Each pattern also includes code that demonstrates how it may be implemented in object-oriented programming languages like C++ or Smalltalk.
