C# Design Pattern Essentials

Once you've learned the fundamentals of the C# programming language you need to be able to put that knowledge into practice - and understanding design patterns is essential in being able to write clear, concise and effective code, even for complex applications.

C# Design Pattern Essentials gives you a step-by-step guide to the world of object-oriented software development, using tried and trusted techniques. The examples and code extracts have been deliberately kept simple, enabling you to concentrate on understanding the concepts and application of each pattern rather than having to wade through irrelevant source code. And the pattern examples have been designed around a common theme, making it easier for you to see how they relate to each other and more importantly how you can adapt them to your applications.

While the book assumes a basic knowledge of C# you certainly don't need to be a guru. This book is perfect for the programmer who wishes to take their skills up to the next level, so you can feel confident about using C# in real-world applications.

Coverage includes:

All 23 of the design patterns described in the seminal work of Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides; Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software (Addison-Wesley, 1995).

Additional patterns for use in real-world applications.

Full, simple explanation of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.

Easy to follow UML diagrams.

Advice on how to use the patterns in practice.
