What will you learn from this book? You know you don't want to reinvent the wheel, so you look to Design Patterns: the lessons learned by those who've faced the same software design problems. With Design Patterns, you get to take advantage of the best practices and experience of others so you can spend your time on something more challenging. Something more fun. This book shows you the patterns that matter, when to use them and why, how to apply them to your own designs, and the object-oriented design principles on which they're based. Join hundreds of thousands of developers who've improved their object-oriented design skills through Head First Design Patterns . What's so special about this book? If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. With Head First Design Patterns, 2E you'll learn design principles and patterns in a way that won't put you to sleep, so you can get out there to solve software design problems and speak the language of patterns with others on your team. Review: Pattern the design patterns - The concepts and explanation are good and the examples are realistic and were able to apply in real time. Review: Surprisingly good! - I didn't expect much, but this covers a lot of great basic design patterns, and its examples are top notch. I could do with a little less of the "fun" cartoon stuff, that's just filler, but if you skip over the filler, the actual information it gives is awesome. It is a little cartoony at times, and it does have a lot of random "fun" things like pictures of people with dialog bubbles saying stuff. I could really do without all that, but the core examples and design patterns are awesome. Personally, I just wish they would cut out like 60% of the random "conversations" and "gurus" and "people" and include 60% more design patterns instead. Still a really solid book though. Examples are in Java and they're great. Very straight forward and easy to follow. You can understand the idea just by glancing at the code. Has a lot of good designs. You're bound to already be familiar with some of the "design patterns", but I find that if even one gives me some new ideas or makes me think about things in a new way, then it was worth the purchase price. I've loved it so far personally.

Wish I had read this years ago
I've had the book for about a year and wish that I had read it years ago. It's been helpful in expanding software architecture knowledge and applying the information to help others in software development.

Great book
Great book, the paperback edition is decent, I just feel the pages are poor quality and black and white, the ebook is full color.

Helpful
So far I'm in to the second chapter. It's a dense topic so be prepared to think but it does make the gof algorithms very approachable. I'm an early to mid stage Dev so I'm trying to brush up for career progression.

Perfekte Erklärung
Das Buch erklärt die Design Patterns einfach perfekt! Es macht wirklich spaß, das Buch zu lesen, da hier viele Illustrationen und praktische Beispiele verwendet wurden. Es versucht auch nicht der Ersatz für das Buch der GoF zu sein.
