Design Patterns is a modern classic in the literature of object-oriented development, offering timeless and elegant solutions to common problems in software design. It describes patterns for managing object creation, composing objects into larger structures, and coordinating control flow between objects. The book provides numerous examples where using composition rather than inheritance can improve the reusability and flexibility of code. Note, though, that it's not a tutorial but a catalog that you can use to find an object-oriented design pattern that's appropriate for the needs of your particular application--a selection for virtuoso programmers who appreciate (or require) consistent, well-engineered object-oriented designs.
Book Description
Now on CD, this internationally acclaimed bestseller is more valuable than ever!
Use the contents of the CD to create your own design documents and reusable components. The CD contains: 23 patterns you can cut and paste into your own design documents; sample code demonstrating pattern implementation; complete Design Patterns content in standard HTML format, with numerous hyperlinked cross-references; accessed through a standard web browser; Java-based dynamic search mechanism, enhancing online seach capabilities; graphical user environment, allowing ease of navigation.
First published in 1995, this landmark work on object-oriented software design presents a catalog of simple and succinct solutions to common design problems. Created by four experienced designers, the 23 patterns contained herein have become an essential resource for anyone developing reusable object-oriented software. In response to reader demand, the complete text and pattern catalog are now available on CD-ROM. This electronic version of Design Patterns enables programmers to install the book directly onto a computer or network for use as an online reference for creating reusable object-oriented software.
The authors first describe what patterns are and how they can help you in the design process. They then systematically name, explain, evaluate, and catalog recurring designs in object-oriented systems. All patterns are compiled from real-world examples and include code that demonstrates how they may be implemented in object-oriented programming languages such as C++ and Smalltalk. Readers who already own the book will want the CD to take advantage of its dynamic search mechanism and ready-to-install patterns.

WOW!!!.......2007-09-13
Being a total noob to programming, my friend got me into learning about Objective-C and Cocoa. I have bought many books on the subject and I'd like to say that this book helped me with my understanding of objective-c programming language.
Thanks to the authors
Wonderful but it is difficult.......2007-09-05
The book is wonderful and samples are very exciting and meaningful.But book is difficult,if you don't have any idea about design patterns,you cannot learn easily from his book.But If you are not new about Design patterns,this book is very useful.
Fantastic Book.......2007-08-12
I would recommend this book to any software developer, architect, or designer. Fit for all levels of experience. It is clear why this is so often referenced in other development literature.
A Thorough Introduction.......2007-08-12
I have read this book many times over. I purchased
this book many years ago and I still reference it today. For those
who are interested in OO design this is the best book I have read,
followed by John Lakos "Large Scale C++ Design". This book will
have you thinking about how to design software, and if you are
diligent, eventually you will be designing your own patterns.
This book is a definite must for any language, since it will
change the way you view software.
Great book.......2007-08-05
I found the case study very helpfull. The patterns explained in a very clean way, so I recomand every developer that is interesting in design patterns, refactoring etc to read it.

Very solid on math, very expensive in price........2004-02-26
This book covers most of the elements you will ever need or want to know about image processing. It presents the algorithms, mathematics, and logic behind all major techniques. It has enough math to scare off any casual reader, in enough detail to satisfy anyone seriously interested in image processing. The only bad thing about the book is the cost. If it were priced slashed to $60 or less, I'd have given it 5 stars. If you plan on doing any serious image processing in your career, it is worth the money. If you only need it for a class and not your career, then you are probably better off reading it with a formerly-wealthy classmate.
One of the best for Learning the Material.......2000-08-24
I used Ken Castleman's first edition in 1979 that same year to get a thorough and fast mastery of digital image processing. The book is highly recommended, because I feel that if a book is easy to read and gets the job done of educating the reader as quickly as possible, and it is actually a pleasure to go through, then it is a winner. This book is one of the rare technical books I can recommend this way. The price tag of 105 is hefty, but many books today are outlandishly priced. Even so, if the budget allows only one or two Digital Imaging texts, this would be one I would definitely pick.
a good book with a broad coverage in the image processing.......2000-06-20
This book helped me gain the basic knowledge in digital image processing. Although it doesn't have any sample programming code, the description and the math functions in the book are good enough for me to understand the different imaging processing techniques and finish my image processing programming projects at work.

Thinking Points.......2007-01-10
A 'must read' progressives. The ideas of framing cut across all issues. This articulates progressive values, and points out the verbal 'traps' used by the right wing.
Framing Made Concrete.......2007-01-06
In this short volume, Dr. Lakoff presents a more concrete, 'work-a-day'approach to activists who wish to employee the technique to both frame their own messages, and recognize other's frame when they are presented. 'Moral Politics' was Lakoff's original analysis; "Don't Think of an Elephant" the cliff notes for it, and now we have 'Thinking Points'- the Chilton manual.
a keeper.......2007-01-05
A fine book that everyone should have in their library - and read more than once
Lakoff Hits Another Home Run........2006-12-05
George Lakoff has done it again. His latest book, Thinking Points is yet another pithy, memorable analysis of how we progressives can make our points more effectively so that the movement truly embraces the majority of Americans. Highly recommended for policy analysts and public spirited citizens.
Lakoff's Linguistic Expertise Highlighted in an Indispensable Primer for Progressives.......2006-11-24
Anyone who has read "Don't Think of an Elephant" will know author George Lakoff knows about the power of imagery through words. He clearly illuminates the influence exerted by metaphors that resonate with the American public, in particular, the impermeable connection people make between family and nation and how images are divided along party lines. A professor of linguistics, Lakoff is a senior fellow of the Rockridge Institute, the renowned liberal think tank that concentrates in part on helping Democratic candidates and politicians with re-framing political metaphors. With his latest book, he goes even further in providing clear-eyed examples of the political arguments that have proven to work, the ones that appeal most deeply to personal values and moral structures.
As with "Elephant", he bases his principles on what he calls "deep frames", perceptual maps each of us have in order to make sense of the world. Anything spoken that is antithetical to one's "deep frames" simply do not resonate because phrases, no matter how well turned, have to reflect tangible deeds at the end. What Lakoff provides in his slim volume is a primer for the progressives who have given up the fight of words to the conservatives who had successfully used father-figure metaphors to convince the nation to go to war in Iraq. In fact, the most fascinating parts of the book have to do with the "war on terror" frame. The author brings to light how Republicans have framed the war as a just one because any other kind is beyond our cognitive process. Consequently, references to the "war" frame have constrained Democrats from initiating a withdrawal that would get us out of the war.
Repositioning "war" to an "occupation" frame minimizes the good-versus-evil symbolism in favor of questions that innately arise as to when to leave Iraq. Moreover, an "Occupation President" sounds more like a military commander disregarding the Constitution rather than a heroic figure out to eliminate global terrorism. Lakoff applies his framing devices to several other political debates, for instance, the use of the term "biconceptualism" rather than references to a moderate position since the former infers an inclusive way of thinking that balances polar perspectives, while the latter picks up on the compromising aspect of being in the middle. With the decisive Democratic victory in both houses earlier this month, the progressive community has an opportunity to gain a foothold through the reinforcement of such inclusive frames in their speeches. From that perspective, Lakoff's primer becomes indispensable.

Needs a second volume which explains the first.......2005-05-20
This book is by now an accepted classic in the field. It is basically the only textbook that covers so much of computational linguistics, so I have had no choice but to use it for the past several years. Just the same, I'd rather not use it for teaching linguistics students. While the book has much to offer the professional, including a broad range of topics extensively researched, it is much more useful in this "handbook" capacity than as a textbook for the uninitiated. The chief reasons for this are: 1) It is pedagogically very poor; the majority of concepts are either explained in a confusing and obfuscatory manner or are not explained and are simply left in algorithmic form. This is not usually edifying to the linguistics student with no computer science background. 2) There are too many mistakes in its algorithms and method overviews. So far as I can see, even the famed Earley parsing algorithm is wrong here, it will not yield the correct output. 3) It is not written in a language that linguistics students can understand. With no background in mathematics, computer science, or pseudocode, such students need much more coddling than is provided by this book, and they are virtually unable to read it. Basically, as the title to this review states, what is called for now is a book to explain the contents of this book. Perhaps if my students keep encouraging me to write it. . .
I looked for.......2003-11-06
something which I can use - I am a linguist - and found it immensly readable and useful
The a good introduction to NLP, but could be improved.......2003-04-16
This book helped me accomplish what I set out to do; namely to obtain an overview of the field of natural language processing, with an emphasis on language understanding (as opposed to recognition). And I can recommend it on that level. The weakness of the book however is that it left me asking, "OK, now what?". The book started off strong with a number of dynamic-programming algorithms, finite automaton models, and N-grams that one could sink his/her teeth into from an algorithmic point-of-view. But when it came to actual techniques for natural-language understanding (chapters 14-17) the goods were not delivered. The algorithms disappeared, and the best I could find was in Chapter 15 an incomplete, and unconvincing treatment of Hiyan Alshawi's semantic parsing techniques which fueled the Core Language Engine last decade. Chapter 16 dealt with lexical semantics and was almost entirely devoid of algorithms.
My gut feeling after reading this text is that parsing techniques will likely give way to statistical and probabilistic learning methods that will in some sense bypass the need to correctly or accurately parse language. I cannot fault the authors for not exploring this in more depth,as this represents the cutting edge for both NLP and artificial intelligence. In any case, I'm off to read Schutze and Manning's book which will hopefully provide a bit more focus on that perspective. What intrigues me is that most people can understand some language, but very few people understand the grammar of their own language, especially if they have been deprived of a formal education. So why should computers need to know all about grammar rules and parsing? Could they instead be trained by simply being exposed to enough interactions between language and objects? I teach in a department dominated by both foreign and immigrant students. I understand them most of the time, but I would estimate that half the time their sentences or utterances would not fail to be parsed correctly.
Good oveview, slightly overrated: broad and shallow.......2002-05-26
GENERAL IDEA: Broad coverage, it lacks depth and details - particularly practical details. That is, the presentation is often sketchy, mainly because it approaches too many subjects for its available space. I would not say that this book is strong on theory either. It is quite obvious that it avoids getting too formal and precise, probably to remain attractive for non-specialists too.
CASE STUDY: One specific problem I had with the Hidden Markov Models, that are supperficially presented (or spread I could say) in several separate sections of the book, so it's not been a pleasure trying to actually understand them properly and completely as a fundamental concept, to make them work in my particular application.
TITLE: The book's title IS misleading because it starts with "Speeech" and this book's main subject is not speech but (written) language. Actually there are only a few chapters on speech.
CONCLUSION: Get this book if you are looking for a good overview of the field. The book will introduce you to a thousand of topics. As soon as you need in-depth coverage of some particular topic, you will look for additional resources.
Good, but many errors.......2002-05-20
This book is a great general introduction to NLP, covering a broad range of topics. Unfortunately there are many errors in the mathematical formulae and the algorithm descriptions, so do make sure to download the errata list from the book's home page.
Book Description
There is nothing else available like it that covers so much territory about the basics of starting and running a small software company. Just buy it and read it.
— Thomas Warfield, asharewarelife.com
Micro-independent software vendors, or micro-ISVs, have become both a major source of applications and a realistic career alternative for IT professionals. As for the latter--are you a programmer and curious about being your own boss? Where do you turn for information? Until now, online and traditional literature haven't caught up with the reality of the post-dot.com bust.
Micro-ISV: From Vision to Reality explains what works and why in today's emerging micro-ISV sector. Currently, thousands of programmers build and deliver great solutions ISV-style, earning success and revenues much larger than you might guess. Written by and for micro-ISVs, with help from some of the leaders of the field--this book takes you beyond just daydreaming to running your own business. It thoroughly explores how it is indeed possible to launch and maintain a small and successful ISV business, and is an ideal read if you're interested in getting started.
Customer Reviews:
great advice.......2007-09-05
if you are considering jumping into the ISV waters you do well to invest a few bucks and a few days studying Walsh's book. The interviews alone are worth the price of admission.
An Outstanding Resource.......2007-08-30
I've been a "micro-ISV" for 30 years (if you can count pre-Internet years) and I still found a lot of very valuable information and insight in this book. I tend to not read software-related books cover to cover, usually just referring to the parts of interest. I read this entire book and added a large number of tasks to my "to-do" list. I wish I had this years ago!
Exactly what you're looking for!.......2007-07-24
If you're looking to start your own software business with just you or a buddy, this is the book for you. If you realize that it is much more than just writing code, you're a step above the rest. This book will give you the insight and focus you need to run a software business.
Worth every penny. Also get Eric Sink's book.
Good scope, lots of helpful references.......2007-03-27
I read this book after about ten years of running my own ISV, and while there weren't any huge surprises, it still had a number of helpful items in it.
I like the fact that Bob goes into a number of useful tools (both software and otherwise), and that the book has lots of screenshots and graphics. The sidebars include lots of interviews, and while many of the people interviewed are obviously pushing their own products, it's always nice to be able to read many different perspectives in a single book.
It's a good overview of running a small software company - I recommend it.
If you want to write a shareware this is a book you should read........2007-03-26
If you want to write a shareware through a micro-isv (micro independent software vendor) this is a book you should read. I like it covers all the aspects neccessary to be a micro-isv. It includes information applicable to the U.S. and U.K., but no other countries.
It mentions software to help you throughout the phases of development of your software, but sometimes it is windows or visual studio oriented. Java programmers need to search for equivalent software elsewhere. In such cases the good part is that with the help of the book you know what to look for.
It has four stars because it is really good, but the information can become obsolete quite quickly (legal changes, new software appears, etc).

Aimed at forward-thinking software developers and IT managers, Software for Your Head: Core Protocols for Creating and Maintaining Shared Vision provides an innovative set of procedures and reusable "patterns" for improving the way teams work together.
This book's amalgam of the lingo of software patterns and management theory (and even New Age and popular psychology) helps make the text one of the most challenging you'll ever read about team building. Based on the authors' considerable experience with Microsoft and their simulated developer boot camps run with hundreds of teams, this book eschews providing practical evidence drawn from real projects. Instead, it formulates a unique vocabulary of terms, protocols, and patterns that arguably should allow teams to carry out decisions and build better team focus.
The tour of tools and techniques begins with ways of getting individuals to commit totally to their work in teams. (The authors show how individuals can "check in" to work environments or "check out" as necessary.) They offer a set of techniques that can allow teams to work together more effectively, as well as obstacles (or "antipatterns") that can get in the way. Early sections culminate with a "team equals product" philosophy, arguing that highly calibrated teams will produce insanely great software.
A cluster of tips and patterns for better decision making comes next. Here, the Decider pattern offers a step-by-step protocol for voting and resolving disputed items effectively. For anyone stuck in interminable meetings where egos instead of good ideas triumph, such ideas may well help change things. Alignment patterns come next, which allow teams to overcome perceived shortages of people or time to get the job done. The most far-reaching sections here argue that teams need a long-distance vision to drive their work lives. (This is considerably more ambitious than a standard corporate mission statement and involves a guiding principle that will change the world 20 years into the future.) A final, intriguing group exercise walks teams through a protocol to do something "perfect" in a group setting, with steps to refine the "design."
The text closes with appendices covering Core Protocol terminology, as well as the opening statement delivered to participants at the authors' five-day boot camp (where their techniques are played out). The Core Protocols themselves, wittily released under the General Public License as open source, close out this often fascinating book.
Long on theory but consciously short on any practical examples, this title offers an uncompromising vision for getting teams to work together. Though it's doubtful that your average IT department will be able to commit to such a different set of terms for the everyday workplace, Software for Your Head provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of highly committed and collaborative teams written by two legendary ex-Microsofties. --Richard Dragan
Topics covered: Introduction to the Core Protocols (protocols and patterns for team-based development), the "Check In" protocol (for centering team members on work efforts), the "Check Out" protocol (for individual time-outs), the "Passer" pattern (for not participating in group efforts), the "Connection" protocol, problem behaviors (antipatterns: "Too Emotional," "No Hurt Feelings," and "Wrong Tolerance"), additional "Check In" patterns (including "Team = Product," "Self-Care," and the "Greatness Cycle"), "Decider" protocols (for making team decisions), the "Resolution," "Work with Intention," and "Ecology of Ideas" patterns, "Decider" antipatterns (including "Resolution Avoidance," "Turf," and "Team Quackery"), guide to personal and team alignment, patterns and antipatterns for team alignment (including "Investigate," "Web of Commitment," and "Ask for Help"), building shared vision in teams, patterns and protocols for shared vision (including "Metavision" and "Far Vision"), shared vision antipatterns (including "Blinder," "Technicality," and "Recoil"), the "Perfection Game" protocol (for building team vision), appendices for the lexicon of terms used in the Core Protocols, transcript of the authors' boot camp development scenario, the Core Protocols 1.0 and General Public License.

We're humans, not machines........2006-09-23
Most people don't work the way Jim wants them to, don't think that way, and they never will. There're myriads of things in the way of sanity when developing intellectual assets as a part of collective efforts. Yes, we're inherentily egotistical and inefficient. However, this "OS" will not help it. The success of collective efforts will continue to be determined through the good old positives (leadership, drive, personal charisma, excellency of communication), productive negatives (challenge, competition, need for $$$), unproductive negatives (fear, intimidation, anxiety)... and a lot of luck. Not through the protocols and behavior agreements. We're humans, not machines. Since we're humans the only real help we can offer ourselves is investing in our human growth.
Some great ideas wrapped in too much padding.......2005-04-20
I'm a big fan of "Dynamics of Software Development" and I expected this book to be 10 years better than that. It isn't.
It's like buying a favourite band's new CD and finding that you really liked the old work in the days of vinyl. And the CD collects dust.
I bought this book and tried to read it many times. I've willed it to be engaging, I wanted it to be good, I've given time over to reading it, but it's not engaging and feels bloated.
Sure there are some great ideas, but they're fighting to get out of the "stuff" around it.
Looking forward to the next book Jim. I hope it's the one I was looking for.
Teams become real.......2004-07-29
It'is one of the most wonderful books I ever read about teams. What I mostly appreciate is that talks about teams in a language a developer or an engineer can understand (bypassing the resistances and prejudices that technicians have treating emotions, motivations, groups and so on) and usually it's a nightmare for me to explain them that poor performance are not simply related to task assignments or character or people smartness...
Definitely a great book.
8/10.......2004-06-26
I give this book eight out of ten.
What I like about it:
The ideas in this book have enormous power. They could (and can) change the way people work with each other for the better.
The book presents the function that team = product. The better the team works together the better the product. This is so obvious and yet gets constantly overlooked.
The patterns and anti patterns of behavior are very well observed and described.
After reading this book the second time I have been to a McCarthy boot camp and the book does an admirable job of describing what is achievable.
I have tried each of the protocols described in this book and I can tell you they rate amongst the best ways I have discovered of helping teams work well together.
The title describes the book well, it takes some time to work this out. It is a clever idea that we can load new software into our brains and therefore become better at doing something - such as interacting with other people (or even ourselves!)
In order to get a ten:
It would be easier to read. The book is written too much like a software manual. The McCarthy's previous book - Dynamics of Software Development - was much easier to read and proved to be very popular with the development teams I introduced it to. Software For Your Head requires commitment to read to the end.
The examples would be clearer. Throughout the book are stories which serve as examples of the ideas being presented. I often have to read these a second time to get the full meaning of them.

Software for Your Head.......2004-05-15
I've read the book and sponsored several of the Boot Camps in a company. The protocols work and they are not just for any IT or high-tech team as some reviewers have noted. We took groups of Sr. and Executive management as well as mid-management and technical professionals through the boot camp and it really helped solidify these groups and raise their performance level. Several of them then took the BC to their teams. One particular exec takes his team through the BC almost every year.
Yes, there's some pretty deep psychology and maybe a little new age in the text but there's nothing harmful about it at all. The Core protocols are great and I continue to use them all and teach teams these protocols.
The book is a tough read, but worth it. The boot camps are really good and will blow you away.If you really want to jump start a team and get them firing on all cylinders then read the book and get a boot camp quick. It's worth the investment. But I do recommend you ensure it's a fit for your culture. The authors are very knowledgable but will pretty much tell you how it has to be to be successful with the Core and a boot camp. This can be too painful for some organizations but if you really want to change then it may well be for you.
