Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software

By Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, et al.

Book Overview

Capturing a wealth of experience about the design of object-oriented software, four top-notch designers present a catalog of simple and succinct solutions to commonly occurring design problems. Previously undocumented, these 23 patterns allow designers to create more flexible, elegant, and ultimately reusable designs without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves.
The authors begin by describing what patterns are and how they can help you design object-oriented software. They then go on to systematically name, explain, evaluate, and catalog recurring designs in object-oriented systems. With Design Patterns as your guide, you will learn how these important patterns fit into the software development process, and how you can leverage them to solve your own design problems most efficiently.
Each pattern describes the circumstances in which it is applicable, when it can be applied in view of other design constraints, and the consequences and trade-offs of using the pattern within a larger design. All patterns are compiled from real systems and are based on real-world examples. Each pattern also includes code that demonstrates how it may be implemented in object-oriented programming languages like C++ or Smalltalk.

Essentials of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Design

This is an excellent product. It came in great timing. I recommend seller to everyone in need of this product.

Good Book

This book is required for my soils class and it was a good help in understanding soil concepts. The delivery was perfect.

An engineering text surprisingly accessible to the construction manager

Although this appears to be an acedemic text, it is both informative and useful for the non-engineer construction manager. The chapters on soil types, clasification of soils, and the impact of water were clear and not unnecessarily technical. The chapters on stresses, settlement, and compaction provided a broader perspective useful for evaluating unusual conditions. And, the chapters on foundation design and slope stability...

Seller really cares!

This product never arrived but the seller gave me all my money back as well as a credit to use for another purchase from them. Very caring people when the customer is not satisfied!

Good for AM portion of PE Exam and PM portion of Geotechnical

Even though Index is not that great like CERM (Civil Engineering Reference Manual, you can still find valuable examples and basic concepts that PE Exam requires. Best of Luck.
