ELEMENTAL DESIGN PATTERNS

In 'Elemental Design Patterns', researcher Jason McC. Smith offers the missing foundation that software practitioners need to utilize patterns far more effectively. Smith introduces a foundational layer of patterns terminology: a collection of core patterns that can't be decomposed further. He presents these underlying basic concepts of programming clearly and concisely, in the same format as the classic "Gang of Four" patterns - thereby offering a taxonomy that virtually any developer can understand and apply. 'Elemental Design Patterns' helps practitioners grasp the context of patterns, comprehend their true power, and map them to actual software implementations more cleanly and directly.
