Purchase options and add-ons

Get a grounding in polymorphism and other fundamental aspects of object-oriented program design and implementation, and learn a subset of design patterns that any practicing Java professional simply must know in today’s job climate.
Java Program Design presents program design principles to help practicing programmers up their game and remain relevant in the face of changing trends and an evolving language. The book enhances the traditional design patterns with Java's new functional programming features, such as functional interfaces and lambda expressions. The result is a fresh treatment of design patterns that expands their power and applicability, and reflects current best practice.
The book examines some well-designed classes from the Java class library, using them to illustrate the various object-oriented principles and patterns under discussion. Not only does this approach provide good, practical examples, but you will learn useful library classes you might not otherwise know about.
The design of a simplified banking program is introduced in chapter 1 in a non-object-oriented incarnation and the example is carried through all chapters. You can see the object orientation develop as various design principles are progressively applied throughout the book to produce a refined, fully object-oriented version of the program in the final chapter.

What You'll Learn
  • Create well-designed programs, and identify and improve poorly-designed ones
  • Build a professional-level understanding of polymorphism and its use in Java interfaces and class hierarchies
  • Apply classic design patterns to Java programming problems while respecting the modern features of the Java language
  • Take advantage of classes from the Java library to facilitatethe implementation of design patterns in your programs


Who This Book Is For
Java programmers who are comfortable writing non-object-oriented code and want a guided immersion into the world of object-oriented Java, and intermediate programmers interested in strengthening their foundational knowledge and taking their object-oriented skills to the next level. Even advanced programmers will discover interesting examples and insights in each chapter.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Boost your career by becoming an expert Java program designer
    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2019
    Every now and then a computer book appears that is destined to become a classic. The Gang of
    Four's "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software"
    (https://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Elements-Reusable-Object-Oriented/dp/0201633612/) is
    one example. Another example is "Java Program Design."

    "Java Program Design" teaches you how to create outstanding and nontrivial Java software whose
    source code is easy to understand and easy to maintain. It accomplishes this task by
    instructing you on how to properly use Java language/API features (e.g., interfaces, lambdas,
    streams, collections, and even JavaFX) to implement architectures based on design patterns
    (e.g., strategy, decorator, observer, and model-view-controller) in order to obey fundamental
    software development principles (e.g., don't repeat yourself, open-closed, and Liskov
    Substitution). Multiple versions of a single banking example are presented throughout the book
    to help you better understand the various design concepts.

    "Java Program Design" picks up from where beginning Java books typically leave off. A beginning
    Java book focuses on teaching Java's language features and assorted APIs, and that's about it.
    If you're a Java beginner, you might want to first learn more about the Java language and
    assorted basic APIs (e.g., lambdas and streams) before diving into this book. Not much space is
    devoted to teaching language features/APIs because the emphasis is on design. However, you
    should still obtain your copy because you're bound to pick up useful design knowledge while
    learning Java basics. This book will be a great addition to your library, and the design
    concepts on which it's based will still be relevant many years from now.

    It's hard to put this book down, but you don't want to rush through it and become overwhelmed
    with everything you'll learn. Take your time and work through each chapter's examples before
    progressing to the next chapter.

    I learned alot about properly designing Java code from reading this book, and I think you will
    too. Mastering this knowledge might even help you get that promotion at work.

    Stay away from this book. I don't think that this book was written by Prof. Edward Sciore because the language and explanations are of very low quality and the content seems to be copied from other sources. The book is a piece of junk. I will recommend Head First Java, Head First design patterns, and Robert martin's books to those who are looking for building their Java programming skills.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is a book every Java developer must read, early in their carrier!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2018
    This is a book every Java developer must read, early in their carrier. It explains object oriented concepts in detail with nice code samples written in Java. In addition to made up examples, author also uses many examples from the Java inbuilt classes to explain the value of adhering to OOP concepts, and how things are implemented. After explaining key OOP concepts, the book starts talking about design patterns. Once again, the author has used many Java code examples and class diagrams to explain the theory in a more practical manner.
