About the Book
Features
- It describes what patterns are and how they can help you design object-oriented software.
- You will learn how these important patterns fit into the software development process, and how you can leverage them to solve your own design problems most efficiently.
- Each pattern describes the circumstances in which it is applicable, when it can be applied in view of other design constraints
- All patterns are compiled from real systems and are based on real-world examples.
- Each pattern also includes code that demonstrates how it may be implemented in object-oriented programming languages like C++ or Smalltalk.

- Preaching the three P’s!
- Passion—A lack of belief and fire for a budding enterprise is the quickest route to failure. This text encourages the notion that having passion is step number one.
- Persistence—Turning a spark into a flame takes more than gusto; it also takes persistence. Barringer/Ireland explains to students that when roadblocks arise, and they will, using persistence to stay focused is a necessity.
- Planning—Entrepreneurial ventures struggle or fail when the original idea is flawed and/or poorly considered. To help students avoid possible business failure, this text places special emphasis on the carefully planned beginnings of the entrepreneurial process.
- Accesible Approach to Understanding the Entrepreneurial Process—This text is divided into four parts and fifteen chapters. Each of the four parts make up Barringer/Ireland's entrepreneurial process model, which helps students understand the entrepreneurial process:
Part 1: The Decision to Become an Entrepreneur
Part 2: Developing Successful Business Ideas
Part 3: Moving from an Idea to an Entrepreneurial Firm
Part 4: Managing and Growing an Entrepreneurial FirmFeatures
