Thinking in Patterns by Bruce EckelRevision 0.9, 5-20-2003 (This version contains the material that willbe used in the Crested Butte seminar; see

http://www.mindview.net/Seminars/ThinkingInPatterns/

)Please note this document is under development and incomplete.Updates to this document can be found athttp://www.Mindview.net Best viewed with Mozilla! (free atwww.Mozilla.org) (Even though thisdocument was created with MS Word, IE6 garbles lines withsuperscripts on them. Mozilla seems to do a much better job).

Modifications in Revision 0.9:

•

Prose has still had little/no work. My current goal is to get the structure and examples worked out so that the seminar works well. Once it has been proven in the seminars,then I will spend time on the prose.

•

Added proxy:PoolManager.java to make a more generic/customizeable Pool Manager,and modified proxy:ConnectionPoolProxyDemo.java accordingly [[ Still need todecide what to return when you run out of objects in the pool ]]

•

Changed PoolManager.java to use an ArrayList (and thus does not require a fixed sizeat initialization)

•

Added KissingPrincess.java to State description, as a motivational example for thepattern

•

Added a simple Flyweight example

•

Simplified the enumeration in PaperScissorsRock.java

Modifications in Revision 0.8:

•

Changed Bridge example to improve clarity.

•

Removed superscripts for better viewing with IE (see note above)

Modifications in Revision 0.7:

•

NOTE primary changes have been made to structure of book and codeexamples, but not to prose. Prose can be considered to be mostly a mess inthis revision.

•

Complete reorganization under headings that attempt to describe the problems youare trying to solve with a pattern.

•

Addition of placeholders for the remainder of the GoF patterns

•

Addition of “Simplifying Idioms” section and examples

•

Addition of Builder section and examples

•

Removed unit-testing chapter; replaced with reference to “new” JUnit (which usesreflection)

•

(4-30-2003) Added Ant build.xml files, and support files from TIJ necessary to do afull standalone build. You should be able to type “ant” from the code root directory

and get a successful build.

•

Dramatically simplified chainofresponsibility:FindMinima.java

•

Added object pool/connection pool examples

•

Refactored small things in many examples

•

Some exercises may have been left behind when patterns were moved.

•

For simplicity, saved from Word into a single HTML document, using “filtered” version to remove Office stuff. Seems to work pretty well; checked it with both IE andMozilla (actually seems to work better on Mozilla than on IE!).TODO:

•

Reconfigure for new backtalk system

•

Replace references to TIJ2 with TIJ3
