Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Design Patterns is a modern classic in the literature of object-oriented development, offering timeless and elegant solutions to common problems in software design. It describes patterns for managing object creation, composing objects into larger structures, and coordinating control flow between objects. The book provides numerous examples where using composition rather than inheritance can improve the reusability and flexibility of code. Note, though, that it's not a tutorial but a catalog that you can use to find an object-oriented design pattern that's appropriate for the needs of your particular application--a selection for virtuoso programmers who appreciate (or require) consistent, well-engineered object-oriented designs.

Product Description:
*Capturing a wealth of experience about the design of object-oriented software, four top-notch designers present a catalog of simple and succinct solutions to commonly occurring design problems. Previously undocumented, these 23 patterns allow designers to create more flexible, elegant, and ultimately reusable designs without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves. *The authors begin by describing what patterns are and how they can help you design object-oriented software. They then go on to systematically name, explain, evaluate, and catalog recurring designs in object-oriented systems. With Design Patterns as your guide, 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.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Design Patterns
I thinks this is a great book for anyone wanting to learn or have a reference on design patterns. It does expect the user to know OO C++. It is definetly a book for software engineers to have on their collection.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If you are a programmer, this is a must read
The concept of design patterns transcends programming languages. If you wish to think "outside the box" yet be effective and efficient, either this book will provide the answer or help you think in ways that you can develop our own design. A must read.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A bit old school, but an excellent starting point...
I would say this book was a bit old school in it's approach and content, but was exactly what i needed to get a good starting point in understanding how to use design patterns in my software designs. The case studies it presented were simple problems but contained practical elements I could apply to my next big project.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The One book you absolutely must read if you develop with object oriented languages.
This is the most recommended book on object oriented design. I can see now.what all the hype is about. I have been a developer for almost six years now. I have been using object oriented languages for some time. Despite the experience with the technologies, I didn't have a good working knowlege of how to effectively implement the technology and methodology in my own code. That is, until I read "Design Patterns". It has opened my eyes and I understand the concepts of polymorphism and code reuse much ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Why are people still buying this book?
I give this book a 3 because it was great when it was written. But now, it is not a very good book to read. Most people who read it acknowledge they can't understand it. There are two excellent books on the market that should be read if you want to learn design patterns.

Head First Design Patterns (Head First) - is the best book to read on what patterns are as solutions to a problem in a context. Fun to read, useful, really wonderful *****.

However, if you want to learn ... Read More
