It explains design patterns using the short-story medium instead of sterile examples. It is the third volume in a trilogy by Avinash C. Kak, following Programming with Objects (Wiley, 2003) and Scripting with Objects (Wiley, 2008). \u003ci\u003eDesigning with Objects\u003c\/i\u003e confronts how difficult it is for students to learn complex patterns based on conventional scenarios that they may not be able to relate to. In contrast, it shows that stories from the fictional world of Harry Potter provide highly relatable and engaging models. After explaining core notions in a pattern and its typical use in real-world applications, each chapter shows how a pattern can be mapped to a Harry Potter story. The next step is an explanation of the pattern through its Java implementation. The following patterns appear in three sections: Abstract Factory, Builder, Factory Method, Prototype, and Singleton; Adapter, Bridge, Composite, Decorator, Facade, Flyweight, and Proxy; and the Chain of Responsibility, Command, Interpreter, Iterator, Mediator, Memento, Observer, State, Strategy, Template Method, and Visitor. For readers' use, Java code for each pattern is included in the book's companion website.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll code examples in the book are available for download on a companion website with resources for readers and instructors.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA refreshing alternative to the abstract and dry explanations of the object-oriented design patterns in much of the existing literature on the subject.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn 24 chapters, Designing with Objects explains well-known design patterns by relating them to stories from the fictional Harry Potter series\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHere is a book that takes the sting out of learning object-oriented design patterns!
