Design Patterns Quick Reference II - The Poster Chronicles

31 01 2008

So it took a bit of time but I have the poster version available for the design pattern reference. The only one right now is a large poster, however there will be various sizes as well as all kinds of other merchandise to come.

Get yours today at:

Get yours early - if we find an error tomorrow the current version becomes a collector item!

thanks, that’s very useful.

Just a question. Aren’t there any multiplicities in the pattern?
For example in the observer-pattern?: In the original pattern, there is “1″ on Concrete Subject, and “*” on Observer.

good work

Yes, there are multiplicities on some of them - it appears that they have been dropped off. Visio has a nasty habit of dropping cardinalities, directions, and labels when you copy and paste links.

I won’t have a chance to look at this until early next week but will do so then and upload any corrections. Thanks for pointing this out!

Another point.. you painted all the diagramms in OMT-format, as it is also used in the Gof-book. Oftentimes, UML-syntax is used in software-products. Do you think, it is possible to draw a UML-DesignPatterns-Reference? Should/Could we help you?

Thanks for the offer - I actually have another guy helping me out but he has been swamped and I have been out of town on business.

I plan on trying to get them touched up this weekend in order to get the multiplicities added back in. Visio can be such a pain…

As far as OMT versus UML these appear to be far more like UML than OMT to me. The difference is subtle though…

I just went through all the patterns again to check for accuracy and it seems that they are all pretty much dead on. There were a couple that I missed the multiplicities on but I don’t remember which ones I did this purposely on (because it made sense without them).

My book and original notes are not with me. I will grab these tomorrow and go over one more time. If I have any changes I will upload.

Thanks again for your interest and suggestions.

Your previous posts were real rubbish, but this is good. This one is brilliant. Your blog is getting really better.
