Product Description
If you want to speed up the development of your .NET applications, you're ready for C# design patterns -- elegant, accepted and proven ways to tackle common programming problems. This practical guide offers you a clear introduction to the classic object-oriented design patterns, and explains how to use the latest features of C# 3.0 to code them.
C# Design Patterns draws on new C# 3.0 language and .NET 3.5 framework features to implement the 23 foundational patterns known to working developers. You get plenty of case studies that reveal how each pattern is used in practice, and an insightful comparison of patterns and where they would be best used or combined. This well-organized and illustrated book includes:
- An explanation of design patterns and why they're used, with tables and guidelines to help you choose one pattern over another
- Illustrated coverage of each classic Creational, Structural, and Behavioral design pattern, including its representation in UML and the roles of its various players
- C# 3.0 features introduced by example and summarized in sidebars for easy reference
- Examples of each pattern at work in a real .NET 3.5 program available for download from O'Reilly and the author's companion web site
- Quizzes and exercises to test your understanding of the material.
With C# 3.0 Design Patterns, you learn to make code correct, extensible and efficient to save time up front and eliminate problems later. If your business relies on efficient application development and quality code, you need C# Design Patterns.

On one hand I like the book, I feel the layout and presentation of each pattern is well done, concise, yet you can grasp the main point of each pattern. Each pattern is explained, implemented, further examples are given, uses are explained and then each pattern is wrapped up with a series of exercises.
On the other hand, the book has many typos, the exercises are a very mixed bag and sometimes the explanation are incorrect or incomplete and it is hard to understand why the author really did what they did or the full implications. This really is a mar on an otherwise solidly presented book. The errors did make me dig into the details and I did learn more from my digging. So, if you are willing to work around these warts than you will learn something but for a beginner the level of frustration may not be worth it. For example the Observer pattern blog example, which uses events with a dictionary was not explained in enough detail. If you looked, you would have found something along the lines of the MSDN article “How to: Use a Dictionary to Store Event Instances (C# Programming Guide)” but you had to look for it.
This also applies to the C# 3.0 features that are presented in the book, again citing the example above. The Mediator pattern has a sidebar on delegates and events and it explains in a very high level what you need to know to implement events stored in a dictionary but unless you use sources outside the book you will be missing out on a lot.
The exercises are varied, some are excellent and they really force you think about what the pattern is about and sink your teeth into the details. Others just seem like they are there to fill space, others do not seem thought out well enough. For example in the Decorator pattern one of the exercises asks you to decorate System.Console but you can not do it using the methods presented. You can use a wrapper but that is not really decorating, so you are left wondering what the real intent was or even worse did you miss some key point.
So overall, even though the book does have warts, it definitely useful, you will learn about the GOF design patterns and come away with some useful knowledge on C# 3.0 and beyond that. I would suggest using the book with a critical mind, try to pick apart the examples and experiment with them, test the authors claims and find the mistakes. My impression is that this book needed another revision and some sections feel like they were in the process of being revised but the book was shipped before the process was done.
If I could I would give the book 3.5 stars, it is still very useful but the warts are painful and coming from O’Reilly that is disappointing. Some have mentioned the “Head First Design Patterns”, also by O’Reilly. I have to say that if you want to learn design patterns from a Java perspective I would probably recommend that book instead.
BTW, A previous reviewer had claimed the Observer pattern example did not work but I did not have any problems getting that example to work.
The publishers at O’Reilly have been putting out consistently high-quality technical books for a long time. Judith Bishop’s “C# 3.0 Design patterns” is no exception.
In a nutshell: If you think the 23 classic “Gang of Four (“GOF”) design patterns have value to you as a programmer, and you want to move your programming expertise into the future, then this book is for you.
Bishop has the credentials to pull this off: she is a computer scientist specializing in the application of programming languages to distributed systems and web – based technologies, and has books published in six languages. She is also a chair or member of numerous international conference committees and editorial boards.
What C# 3.0 Design Patterns does is to analyze all 23 GOF programming patterns with expert commentary and “real life” (e.g. Web 2.0 style) programming examples, and put them directly into the C# 3.0 idiom – using Generics, LINQ, and most all of the newest C# language features in a practical guide to solving common programming problems with an emphasis on what each programming pattern can do for you as a programmer in real life.
Bishop provides pictorial and UML illustrations of patterns, quizzes that relate the illustrations to the UML, “theory” code that can be adapted to real-world programming issues, tables providing guidance on when to use a specific pattern as a solution, lists of pattern advantages and disadvantages, and challenges / exercises to help you take your expertise further.
Are classic programming patterns useful to you? The answer lies in where you are at in your programming adventure. If you are just starting out, this book is probably too advanced for you.
If you already understand the C# programming language and have some introduction to Patterns under your belt, this book will be very exciting to you as it opens up the field to completely new possibilities. You’ll see some “pretty slick” code examples in this book and even if you only ever end up using one or two of them, you will have certainly gotten your money’s worth. Recommended for intermediate – to – advanced C# developers.
I found this book to be a very good treatment of the GOF patterns. The content is well organized and has a very clean feel to it.
I think there would be 2 primary audiences. One would be those that have study the GOF patterns, but want to see them implemented with the latest C# functionality available. The other would be those that have never before studied the GOF patterns and want to learn about them. I think both audiences should know the C# 3.0 language and syntax before reading this book, or at least be willing to learn C# 3.0 while reading this book.
Although the author claims this is a the book will guide you through the new C# 3.0 language features, they are only really listed. The side bars are enough to send you off looking for the right thing to learn, but you won’t learn it with the content in the sidebar. As long as you are willing to go outside the book to learn the new C# 3.0 features, this book will serve to point them out.
Each pattern is broken down into 7 parts- Role, Illustration, Design, Implementation, Example, Use, and Exercises.
I think the author does a great job at communicating the intention of the patterns. She makes good use of graphics and UML diagrams. She also makes you put some thought into the patterns by offering mini quizzes.
The author also has a nice support site which has the code available and a lot of good information about patterns including the UML diagrams from the book. The code is very well organized and is very usable.
All in all I think this is a great C# GOF Patterns book and would recommend it to anyone that wants to learn to implement the GOF patterns with the latest C# language features available.

C# Design Patterns – The Visitor Pattern What is the visitor pattern? The visitor design pattern is a way of separating an algorithm from an object structure upon which it operates. A practical result of this separation is the ability to add new operations to existing object structures without modifying those structures. Thus, using the visitor pattern [...]

Funny you should ask. I’ve just begun to teach verb tenses here on YouTube. The first lesson is for basic level students. I have plans to address 2-3 tenses at one time for upper level students. The present perfect and simple past tenses are top on my list. I even have a suggested communication activity. I hope to share this lesson sometime in July.
it dosent do that for me. ive never heard of that actually. i would try fl tech support however, you may need to register.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2002 commissioned a series of surveys and studies on the roots of the clergy sex abuse crisis from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. Researchers’ findings so far have helped explain some patterns of abuse in America’s Roman Catholic church and challenge some misconceptions about the underlying causes: OLD CLAIMS: Nearly all of the people coming forward now with abuse claims are adults who say they were molested as children long ago. Only a tiny fraction of the new claims involve alleged victims who are still children. THE PRIESTHOOD: Because victims often wait decades before speaking out, most of the clergy who are being accused now are dead or have left the priesthood. About 4 percent of all clergy who served in the U.S. since 1950 have been accused of molesting children. THE VICTIMS: The overwhelming majority of the victims were adolescents. That means…
