Part 2: Patterns You Need in the Real World

These chapters explain the most useful and popular patterns created by the Gang of Four. We’re strictly focused on the patterns that appear all the time in real-world projects – patterns you should definitely know to advance your craft, and your career, to the next level. In each case, we will provide a generic UML diagram, followed by a real-world application. The generic pattern diagram will be re-drawn to fit the problem and we will then write the coded solution as instructed by our diagram.

This part covers the following chapters:

• Chapter 3, Getting Creative with Creational Patterns
• Chapter 4, Fortify Your Code with Structural Patterns
• Chapter 5, Wrangling Problem Code by Applying Behavioral Patterns
