Synopsis
27114-8 The first true design book inspired by Java(tm) Meet Charlie and Zoe, two users with highly individual User Interface needs. Follow them through the process of designing complex systems that use the power of Java to create unique online solutions. They'll introduce you to the brand-new design paradigm made possible by Java. Explore new concepts in development on the theoretical level, then put them to work with Charlie and Zoe to see their practical applications. Java-inspired design has some basic maxims that are carried out throughout this book. *Interfaces: Java's most significant aspect for designers is its freedom. Object connections and scenario interactions don't need to be hardwired to a single class of objects anymore-learn to use this freedom to gain flexibility, extensibility, and pluggability in your designs. *Composition: Basing your Java designs on composition, rather than inheritance, allows you to maximize this free structure. Java Design offers a five-fold checklist for determining which strategy is "the better one to apply." *Threads: Learn to manage multiple streams of program execution cleanly, efficiently, and safely.*

Notification: Manage notification in ways that maximize the loose coupling supported by Java. Learn to identify the flaws in Java's own mechanism to keep your systems in sync. Java Design also includes a CD-ROM filled with cool code ready to use in your own apps, as well as a Strategies and Patterns Handbook with 177 strategies and 31 object-model patterns to guide your own app design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extend'ing laid to rest, 12 Nov 1998
By A Customer
The OO Programmers obsession with "extending" every class is finally laid to rest with this excellent book, and the case for "composition" strongly presented. Whilst the C++ jury may be out, Java programmers can get on with it. Easy to read and full of real-world examples this is the best design, object-orientated book I have come across. Anyone can learn the syntax and structure of a language but it's how the code is put together that determines the quality of the finished product. Just like you wouldn't let a builder start constructing your new home without a plan and design, you shouldn't do the same with your Java development. When you purchase Peter Coad book you also get added value. Visit his web site and you can subscribe to a twice weekly newsletter, get addendum's and new chapters to the book, a free Java Design Tool. Yes of course he wants you purchase courses, software and his next book but it does feel that he really
