Kent? Experts in creating code that communicates well, is easy to understand, and fun to read. Each chapter of this book contains excellent explanations and insights into the smaller but important decisions we continuously have to make when creating quality code and classes.? Gamma? Erich, IBM Distinguished Engineer Many of the team? have a master developer who makes good decisions fast flow throughout the day. Breadth and depth of topics will engage veteran programmers, who will take new tricks and improving old habits, while the clarity makes it accessible to even novice developers.? Russ Rufer?, Silicon Valley Patterns Group Many people don? t realize how readable code can be and how the valuable legibility. Kent has taught me so much, I m glad this book gives everyone the opportunity to learn from him.?? ? Martin Fowler, chief scientist, ThoughtWorks Code should be worth reading, not only by the compiler, but by humans.? This nugget of advice will make your code truly worth reading.? ? Gregor Hohpe, author of Enterprise Integration Patterns In this book Kent Beck shows how to write code that is clear and easy to read next? From the application of simple principles. A must read for developers who are serious about their code.? ? Sven Gorts .? Implementation Patterns bridges the gap between design and coding Beck introduces a new way of thinking about programming by basing the discussion on values and principles.? Spinellis? Diomidis, author of Code Reading and Code Quality Software Expert Kent Beck Presents a Catalog Long Pattern Useful for Everyday Programming Great code doesn t only function:? clearly and consistently communicates your intentions, allowing other programmers to understand your code, rely on, and modify it with confidence. software innovators Now, the legendary Kent Beck? known worldwide for creating Extreme Programming and pioneering software patterns and test-driven development? focusing on important decisions, digging a strong pattern of implementation? Beck collects 77 patterns for handling everyday programming tasks and writing more readable code. This book covers Value of communicating through code and the philosophy behind patterns How and when to create classes, and how classes encode logic of best practice to store and retrieve state Behavior: patterns for representing logic, including alternative paths Writing, naming, and decomposing methods Choosing and using collections of variation Implementation patterns for use in building frameworks Implementation Patterns will help programmers at all levels of experience, especially those who have benefited from software patterns or agile methods.
