Requirement Analysis and Designing has been his core competency. He has also studied Rational Unified Processes. The design patterns can come in handy designing phase of the project.
Here is a write-up by Mr. Prashant Satarkar on the subject of design patterns.
Who should read this?
I want to write this article on patterns because I have found in many books that reading about a pattern also, does not at times gives us complete feel of how and where to use it. I want that I should be able to write something which presents the patterns in as simple a way as possible. If the reader understands about the patterns after reading this, I will consider myself successful.
Abstract: “Pattern” as the name suggests, means series of events occurring in a definite order. The patterns can be found in Java and J2ee technologies also. Many a times, we find that there is a particular way of tackling a problem. This way is easy and has been used many times successfully by a number of people earlier also. This method becomes a pattern.
Learning the design patterns is a multiple step process:
1. Acceptance
2. Recognition
3. Internalization
Patterns Defined: The patterns can be defined in many ways. You can find the definitions of patterns in many good books.
“Design patterns are recurring solutions to design problems.”
Patterns: According to commonly known practices, there are 23 design patterns in Java. These patterns are grouped under three heads:
1. Creational Patterns
2. Structural Patterns
3. Behavioral Patterns
