Summary

If you want to speed up the development process on your .NET applications, you're ready to take advantage of C# design patterns -- elegant and repeatable solutions to common programming problems that enjoy wide acceptance in the industry. This book is a clear introduction and reference to this difficult subject, with an insightful comparison of patterns and where they would be best used or combined.C# 3.0 Design Patterns offers you a fresh approach. While some sources present C# design patterns converted from C++ and Java code, this book gives you patterns using C# 3.0 language features and a bold use of C# libraries, along with plenty of case studies to illustrate how each of the 23 patterns is used in practice. You get less of the why and more of the how, when and what in this concise and practical guide, with program examples that make sense.
