Hi, I am reading the Bridge Pattern chapter, but I am still digesting the content. I know it is good to separate the abstraction from the implementation, but...

I pay no attention to publishers when suggesting books. I almost feel it is unfortunate that AWL has almost all of the best patterns books. This will likely...
Don't ignore the Smalltalk Patterns book. Yes I know it's not Java, but I find the examples are better explained than GoF. Greg Frank "Change is inevitable....
I think I understand the Abstract Factory and Factory patterns, but I have a couple of questions: 1. In C++, who is responsible for deleting the object...
There are many ways to control the objects created by factories. One way is to use smart references that count how many objects use them and have them ...
Hi all, I just finished attending one of alan's class on design patterns and I can not tell you how much information I took from the class. I really enjoyed it...
Hi Alan, Thanks for the reply. By the way, great book. Being a newcomer to C++ (coming from C), you book not only clarified design patterns for me, but OOP...
Just picked up the book and was surprised to see the request for feedback in the Preface. Are you really interested in feedback? If so, here's a little: 1....
Damien: Thanks for your kind words. The way I would approach this is to write down the different responsibilities you have to do (somewhat like you've done). ...
Yes, we're looking for feedback. Eventually, I'll be writing a second edition and I want it to be as good as I can make it. Thanks, Alan Shalloway, Sr....

I like any reactions to the book, so I guess the answer is yes. Most people state actual errors, etc., and that's helpful too. Knowing reactions and what...
I hope this helps. I would be happy to know from you and the rest of the group what they think about this response. 1. We have actually found that whenever we...

Hello, I've noticed some posts about feedback. One suggestion I have for the second edition is more explicit code fragments. For example, I've noticed that...
agreed. We've actually been creating more and more complete, runnable code examples for our courses. As soon as things lighten up a little (November I think) ...
