Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture For Dummies

Icons Used in This Book

I've used several icons throughout this book:

The Remember icon is a friendly notice of information that you should keep in mind as you're reading the text.

The Technical Stuff icon marks text that digs deeper into a concept. You can skip this material if you want.

When something is especially helpful for using a pattern or idea, I mark it with a Tip icon.

I've thrown in a few warnings, which are things that you need to be consciously aware of; otherwise, you could run into problems.

Throughout the book I provide examples of how you can use patterns in the real world. I mark that material with the Real-World Example icon.
