 THE design patterns book July 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is a classic and doesn't require any further presentations. It is THE Design Patterns bible and every OO programmer should read at least a couple of times.
The samples are in C++ and sometimes Smalltalk but that really doesn't change anything even if you are a Java or C# guy.
If you are looking for a quick way into patterns I'd recommend Head First: Design Patterns as your 1st reading, but buy both and get ready to start reading this one right after.
 Good Book June 18, 2008
Overall a good book. In my opinion it is better suited to be a textbook for a software engineering course than a 'self help' kind of book. Can be a bit too theoretical for my taste, but it is an interesting read.
The Absolute Classic Reference to Software Design Patterns May 27, 2008
This book doesn't contain any Java hacks or UML 2.0 up to date notations, it contains the core concepts of software design patterns. The 23 GoF Patterns are described by their four inventors. A must have for software engineers.
very attractive cover May 5, 2008

A missing link in learning to program March 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Most of the books I have read about object oriented programming were about some specific language and failed to provide a more general way to think about solving problems without writing a lot of code. This book was a missing link for me and I wish I had read it sooner. The authors provide you with elegant ways to use object oriented language features to simplify your programming solutions.
When the specs on your project change and you have to re-factor your code, you may be able to use a design pattern from this book to simplify your solution and make your design more flexible with regard to the parts of the spec that are changing quickly.
