Design Pattern Snobs







Design Pattern Snobs

Design Pattern Snobs 12/09/2002 11:20 AM

Have you noticed lately how the word pattern seems to be creeping into general musings and dialogue more and more? Like name-dropping, it's consciously woven into the fabric of the conversation as a way to assert a certain level of understanding and credibility. Mention the latest design pattern and suddenly your peers will see you as a genius of software engineering, "...you see I have employed the Decorator pattern for this particular class..." While you're fighting the urge to give them a good slap, allow me to let you into the big secret. There is none! -- Alan Williamson

Counterpoint by Ted Neward.

Design Pattern Toolkit 3.0 (Default
branch)
04/06/2005 11:41 PM
The Design Pattern Toolkit is an Eclipse-enabled tool for generating applications based on customizable model-driven architecture patterns. This plug-in can speed up the development of common types of applications by the use of patterns that capture best (or current) practices for the design and implementation of those applications. Users apply patterns to information encoded in XML files to generate multiple Eclipse resources of multiple types that together make up an application. The toolkit has a component for pattern-based resource generation as well as a component that supports pattern development and distribution.
Changes:
Enhancements and fixes were made. This version runs on Eclipse 3.0, RAD, and RSA. An updated "Exemplar Analysis" tool edits a model of a transformation from which DPTK transformations can be generated.

The Portland Pattern Repository


The Portland Pattern Repository 12/25/2004 05:30 PM

Cunningham & Cunningham, Inc.: This is apparently the first wiki ever produced — the wiki seed from which all others grew, if you will. It's also known as the Portland Pattern Repository.

It's kind of the oracle of all things wiki. There are pages on wiki and Extreme Programming philosophy, like the theories of Wabi Sabi (something all developers would use more of), Once and Only Once, and the Open Closed Principle.

It's very long on theory and a bit shorter on practical programming techniques, but still very much worth browsing from time to time. Go there for a dose of The Big Picture every once in a while.

Catching the Pattern Wave


Catching the Pattern Wave 01/13/2003 08:08 PM
Catching the Pattern Wave Like Jeremy I'm starting to get the whole pattern gig (starting). All it took was using Harry's wonderful strategy pattern for validation (which I've extended a bunch of ways already). Now Harry has another one: Observers. The Observer Pattern is designed to help cope with one to many relationships between objects, allowing changes in an object to update many associated objects. It provides a powerful mechanism to extend our applications, in terms of how they respond to events, without needing alter existing (and working) code. We'll take a simplified look at how the observer pattern might be used in a typical PHP forum application then suggest other uses for the observer pattern ... The Observer pattern is defined by the Gang of Four in Design Patterns as behavioural pattern - that is one we can use to modify the behaviour of our applications. It's regarded as being so useful, that Sun bothered to implement it in the Java API (see Observable and Observer). The basic principle behind the observer pattern is if you have some object, such as a Post object for a forum system, you can have other objects, such as a Mailer object, act as an observer and respond to any changes in the Post object, such as emailing relevant forums users that a new post has been added to the thread they were subscribed to. Conceptually, the Observer pattern in something like a trigger in a database, which runs a stored procedure when a table row is modified for example (we won't go too far with this analogy though). Normally we might implement the mailing functionality in the Post object itself but what if later we want add further "events" to Post, when a new post is made, such as adding an entry to our forums RSS feed for example? And how many more things might we want to add in future? The observer pattern provides us the mechanism to add such functionality without needing to alter the Post object. [_Go_] Have I fully read this through, tried it out, etc? No. Will I? Almost certainly.
