Hi
I have been a lurker in comp.lang.c for a while and have benefited from
reading many discussions.
There are some neat solutions to problems i have previously struggled with
and some neat solutions
to problems i have yet to bump into. Thanks for that.
Some recent postings, on what might be quite a long ongoing discussion, got
me to look into
the Design Patterns book by the Gang of Four... :)...
I have to say my first impression, after reading a lot of introduction and
background, and looking
at one of the first Patterns, was the immense similarity with Relational
Modelling.
I was influenced by relational ideas, starting many years ago. If i was
working on a program and
eventually allowed myself to go after a problem with a wider view, rather
than the one written
down in the specs, then relational thinking would have encouraged me to come
up with something
the same. Well, after a lot of thought, and perhaps after the
program/database was already in use.
I am more than a bit disappointed with the object-oriented books. They don't
seem to give credit
where credit is due and confuse the whole design issue further by insisting
that the relational
approach is quite different.
Anyway, i have just started with the Design Patterns book, and i decided to
commit an opinion
while i was still just at the early stages!
I'll let you know what i think as i get more into it...
thanks

the GoF book is very OO, so comp.lang.c may not be the best place to
discuss
it. Try comp.object

Hi,
I'm looking for a book/books about design patterns (factory patterns,
singleton patterns etc). The book doesn't have to be aimed towards C#
developers in particular, but the patterns should of course be useful in a
..Net/C# environment.
I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance!

Hello all,
Over the years as I design more database schemas the more I come up with
patterns in database design. The more patterns I recognize the more I
want to try to design some kind of generic design patterns that can be
used and shared amongst many sub-schemas.
For example, the grouping of entities. I may have the following tables:
employee, product and client. These tables have no direct relationship
with each other. But...

The GOF text is widely considered the definitive book on

Note, all the examples are in C++ but you can get through
them with a little work.

Hi
We are a group of two chaps just out of undergrad, we created
a software to automate the use of Design Patterns. We have put it up
at Source Forge--http://dpatoolkit.sourceforge.net/
The software has been designed using the .NET framework and
coded in C#.
The patterns can be stored as plug-ins in XML, adding any
number of attributes like Intent, Behavior and the like... Class

I have the infamous GoF Design Patterns boo - it's been sittin gon my shelf

and am always putting it off.
I have recommendation for "Head First Design Patterns" book, but it's aimed
aimed at Java developers. I'd rather have a book that has a "For Dummies"

Hello All!
I am trying to implement my own Design Patterns Library.
I have read the following documentation about Observer Pattern:
1) Design Patterns by GoF
Classic description of Observer. Also describes implementation
via ChangeManager (Mediator + Singleton)
2) Pattern hatching by John Vlissides
Describes Observer's implementation via Visitor Design Pattern.
3) Design Patterns Explained by Alan Shalloway and James Trott

Dear software practitioners, consultants, and researchers,
we are currently conducting an international survey about
architecture and
design patterns. Our goal is to discover how familiar people are with
these
patterns (and anti-patterns) as well as to elicit the information
need, the
usage behavior, and the experience of software organizations regarding
architecture patterns and design patterns.

Hi,
I am designing the middle tier of a project.
It has 6 classes and microsoft application data access block.
The six classes are DBServices, Logger, ProjectServices ... etc.
and all these classes talk to front-end directly.
Do I need to use any design pattern in this? or what kind of
design pattern is this?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own....

I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
