Revision history
Revision 0.6, August 23, 2001
- Completely re-designed "Chain of Responsibility" example
- Added new State Machine Framework and Vending Machine Example
- Added Decorator "coffee" example

- Added "Preface" and "Introduction" material

Revision 0.5a, December 8, 2000
- Cleaned up the enumeration type in c11:PaperScissorsRock.java
- Made a number of user-suggested corrections
- Modified JPython section to reflect the change to Jython
Revision 0.5, September 30, 2000
- Did a lot of work on the makefile generation tool (written in Python, not
yet available), including the addition of new types of comment directives, such
as =M, +M, =T and +D. These are described in Chapter 9 where they are used to
automatically created the makefiles that have more sophisticated dependencies.
Some small rewriting was done in that chapter to accomodate this.
- Added a small amount in the Iterators chapter: the beginnings of a type-safe iterator.
- Added Jeremy Meyer's rats & mazes code to Chapter 13 (Just a quick add; no rewriting)
- Converted most tests to black-box tests
- Other small code modifications to improve design/implementation
Revision 0.4, August 8, 2000
- Added Interpreter chapter, which focuses on the use of JPython
as the Interpreter pattern, with a fairly thorough exploration of
JPython.
- Added "White-box & Black-box testing" section and examples to the test

white-box testing.
- Added placeholder chapter for Iterator, with brief overview of what I plan to do.
- Created discussion group for book at Topica
- Changed download so that it is combined book & code
- Added page linked off of the head of each chapter that describes how to build the code
- Changed makefiles to use GNU make, which is free at www.gnu.org. See the page
linked to the top of each chapter with the title Build the Code for more
details.
Revision 0.3, May 2000
- Added Unit Testing chapter
- Modified all code in book to use unit tests
