Learn how to implement design patterns in Java: each patternin Java Design Patterns is a complete implementation and the output isgenerated using Eclipse, making the code accessible to all. The examples arechosen so you will be able to absorb the core concepts easily and quickly.

This book presents the topic of design patterns in Java insuch a way that anyone can grasp the idea. By giving easy to follow examples,you will understand the concepts with increasing depth. The examples presentedare straightforward and the topic is presented in a concise manner.

Key features of the book:

Each ofthe 23 patterns is described with straightforward Java code. There is no needto know advanced concepts of Java to use this book.Each of theconcepts is connected with a real world example and a computer world example.The bookuses Eclipse IDE to generate the output because it is the most popular IDE inthis field.

This is a practitioner''s book on design patterns in Java. Design patterns are a popular topic in software development.A design pattern is a common, well-described solution to a common softwareproblem. There is a lot of written material available on design patterns, butscattered and not in one single reference source. Also, many of these examplesare unnecessarily big and complex.

Discover object oriented programming with Java in this unique tutorial. This book uses Java and Eclipse to write and generate output for examples in topics such as classes, interfaces, overloading, and overriding. Interactive Object Oriented Programming in Java uniquely presents its material in a dialogue with the reader to encourage thinking and experimentation.

Later chapters cover further Java programming concepts, such as abstract classes, packages, and exception handling. At each stage you’ll be challenged by the author to help you absorb the information and become a proficient Java programmer. Additionally, each chapter contains simple assignments to encourage you and boost your confidence level.

If you need to understand concurrency, this book is your guide to the fundamentals behind the advanced software you seek to implement to achieve highly responsive and scalable code. Support for parallel computation is an essential part of concurrency. Concurrency is an advanced concept and solutions are not straightforward. Many developers have been burned by it and are still being burned by it. This book aims to simplify the concept for C# developers. It tries to simplify the concept using the Task Parallel Library (TPL), Concurrent Collections, Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), Asynchronous Programming Patterns, and related topics.The book starts with an overview of TPL and discusses Tasks. Understanding these areas is necessary to learn the concepts that follow in the book. You will go through special scenarios, such as handling exceptions and cancellations, followed by demonstrations of synchronization techniques and concurrent collections. You will see demonstrations of parallel loops to speed up the computations. And you'll understand PLINQ in detail. Finally, you'll learn how to simplify asynchronous programming with async and await keywords is discussed.The book contains “Q&A sessions”, review questions, and exercises (in .NET 8 and C#12). After reading the book, you will be able to understand advanced concepts in parallel programming and implement them in your code. What You Will LearnUnderstand concurrent and multi-threaded developmentUnderstand how some modern-day C# features can promote parallel programmingDemonstrate the latest patterns for parallel development Who This Book Is  ForDevelopers familiar with C# but are absolute beginners for parallel programming.
