Book

[Pho Tek]

Hi,
From reading the TOC on Amazon, this book seemed
to be targetting C++ programmers. I've not had a
chance to browse the book, but I only see C++
code samples ? I already have Mark Grand's Patterns
in Java vol 1 which is pretty good in my opinion.
What's unique in this new book by Allan ?

I also read the book and at borders and it does have a lot of C++ code. Can anyone recommend a book that focuses on Java ?

Are you talking about Design Patterns Explained? If so, the book includes Java examples embedded in the body of the chapter, where the text refers to them. At the end of each chapter is the little section containing C++ version of those same examples. There is no reason to look at the C++ version of the examples unless you don't know Java.

I too have read Mark Grand's book. One thing that I remember liking about the book was that it discussed the pattern, presented the UML, and also included a Java code implementation.

Hey guys.
I just skimmed through chapter nine (free download at http://www.netobjectives.com/dpexplained/dpe_info.htm ) and found quite a bit of Java code.
The chapter has "Supplement: C++ Code Examples" which I assume is at the end of each chapter.
I recommend a second look
