How to "learn" a technical book . not read.
Though, the first line belongs here!!
my experiments:
=============
1)Try to edit the book, say if its pdf copy into some word processor and edit it .
make your won notes like:-
a) "What the hell does this mean", for too abstract a sentance/topic.
2)Create your own examples.
its will be very much helpful, say,while reading Patterns.
3)relate the examples with some existing/working modal.
consider note 2, after reading a Decorator Pattern, i will relate it with the IO stream classes. say byte,char,String are reperesentors while Buffering,Conversioning are decorators.
Additional query:
Where/how would i be forming a study group to discuss patters. IS something already there???
:roll:
Help!urgent!!save me!!! life or death!!!

I learned Design Patterns by going through the GOF book and writing a Java example for every pattern.

Nope. Just on scraps of paper in a desk drawer.

Wow! that's what i am trying to do. i want more domain related examples so that i can really understand the applicability of a pattern under a given domain.

Say, for the Decorator pattern, i will have the VisaulComponent hierarchy (example, PageVisualCompoent) and a Decorator Hierarchy
(BorderVisualComponentDecorator, FrameVisualComponentDecorator) etc. The Decorator itself have to derive from the VisualCompoent and have a "contained" VisualCompoent. The method in the decorator will be something like
[code]
visualcompoent.operation();
//this will decorate the visual compoent
extraOperation()
[code]
i have the book non-software_design_patterns. But i am looking for different views on how a particular pattern can be used under different domains [say a Decorator pattern usage in Finance domain].
according to my understanding, it will attach new responsibilities to an object dynamically provided the given responsiblities can be done in any order.
the visualComponent example makes me understand the concept. But i want to know the applicability in different domain concepts.
Does my need makes sense

This sounds a little too meaningful for MD. Moving to the Patterns forum.

Thanks much Ilja, yes i am looking for something like the study group. this will be useful to remeber the pattern[what is what]. it won't give an overview of the pattern in business context.
I have tried google and throws nothing useful. am surprised that any thing like x+pattern+domain doesnt thrhow any sueful example
[say VisualComponent for Decorator]
what i am looking for is something like this.
please forgive my ignorance on the actual processing of a credit/loan. please comment.

then i will say

Ilga, Thanks for pointing out. This link has induced me the thought of starting the topic
Actually, i have borrowed the "learn" from here . But it dicuss more about how you learn something , so that you wont forget. But i am looking for the applicability in real terms.
[note though that "real" has been polluted in s/w centric world].
please dont misunderstand that i want the actual source code. . Just lend me the concepts whether implemented, just hiding in your mind, or any useful thoughts [like, i was wondering if the decorator may throw an Exception, which the component is decorates doesnt throw, then ]

Looking for your sparking feedbacks!!!
i am feeling like starting different threads for different patterns and let the team post whatever example comes to their mind.
[ not only s/w pattern , real time patterns included. ] Though, i dont know whether something of this sort already exists :roll: . I still feel that there needs to some very specific threads[not new message board] for patterns. like statergy pattern=> Real world examples i come across
decorator pattern=> Real world examples i come across
looking for anything!

aadhi,
Could you please edit the original post in this topic and give this a meaningful thread name. That one was appropriate for Meaningless Drivel but in this forum it is sort of out of place.
Just click the little pad and pencil icon on the top post.
Thanks,
Cindy

What you are looking for sounds a lot like the Pattern Stories Wiki!
Another good resource on patterns in general is the Portland Pattern Repository...
