Praise for Java Design: Building Better Apps & Applets, Second Edition:

"This is a revolutionary book in the Java programming book market since it doesn't teach you how to program ... This is a book for those who need to implement large and complex applications and want to learn how to use all the powerful mechanisms offered by the language in order to create better and well-organized applications." ―Book Review, Java Universe Developer

"Just finished devouring Java Design and I loved it! I think it is one of those books that will influence my thinking for years to come. (And there have only been a few other books like it in my experience.)" ―John Pinto, Director of R&D, Precision Programming, Inc.

"I read with great pleasure your new book. Being an enthusiastic Java programmer I really appreciated your excellent combination of OO design principles and Java concepts like interfaces." ―Harald Nekvasil, TAB Ltd.

Get down to business with Coad and Mayfield as they systematically unfold essential strategies for designing better Java apps.

Key Features:

• How to develop an overall design-model shape fast, effectively, efficiently.
• How to get the most from composition and inheritance. If you are in a hurry, be sure to read Chapters 2 and 3. These chapters will move you and will forever change the way you design. Your designs will be far more flexible; you'll gain the recognition and rewards that follow.
• How to design responsible threads. When, how, and why to design-in threads. When you must have threads, when to avoid them.
• How to design appropriate notification mechanisms. Especially important when you want design-in loose coupling among the major subsystems in your design.

New in the Second Edition:

• UML 1.2 notation throughout.
• 8 new strategies for designing with interfaces (12 total).
• Responsible threads.
• Inner classes for adapters.
• 5 new notification mechanisms.

Java Design also includes a CD-ROM with source code, design strategies, and Together/J Whiteboard Edition from Object International (www.togetherj.com).
