  1. Introduction to Design Patterns For CSE 3902 By: Matt Boggus

  2. Outline • Why design? • Patterns (in general) • Design patterns

  3. Design • Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object or a system

  4. Poor Planning

  5. Design quotes – Make it Simple! • A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away - Antoine de Saint-Exupery • If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself - Albert Einstein • Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication - Leonardo da Vinci • Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction- E.F. Schumacher

  6. Patterns • “Each pattern describes a problem which occurs over and over again in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way twice” • Christopher Alexander

  7. Design Pattern • “A design pattern names, abstracts, and identifies key aspects of a common design structure that makes it useful for creating a reusable object-oriented design.” • Gang of Four (Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software)

  8. Why use Design Patterns? A developer might say "Let's use an ADAPTER.“ rather than "How about a superclass with a getTemperature method and then subclass that with classes that reference instances of the vendor-supplied classes for...."

  9. Four essential elements to a Pattern • Pattern Name • Having a concise, meaningful name for a pattern improves communication among developers • Problem • What is the problem and context where we would use this pattern? • What are the conditions that must be met before this pattern should be used? • Solution • A description of the elements that make up the design pattern • Emphasizes their relationships, responsibilities and collaborations • Not a concrete design or implementation; rather an abstract description • Consequences • The pros and cons of using the pattern • Includes impacts on reusability, portability, extensibility

  10. UML Notation • Design patterns in UML paper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Command_Design_Pattern_Class_Diagram.png
