 A classic May 30, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
10 years ago this book revolutionize the way programmers see object oriented programming. At that time, it was essential to read it. In fact, I remember that employers were testing candidate knowledge on design patterns at job interviews. Today, I consider this book as a classic that I would recommand to read for everyone that has just learned object oriented programming but it is less essential than it used to be as design patterns knowledge has spread in the litterature and you could even learn about them just by working on existing code. That being said, this book is still very valuable even for people that already know about patterns. I am on my second reading after many years of using the design patterns and I am picking up new insights that has escaped my attention at the first reading.
good and clear book, with minor disadvantage May 12, 2007

clearly defines design patterns, how and when they should be used, and factors to consider when using them. a very useful book for any software development work. the only disadvantage with this book is that its examples of each design pattern are sometimes convoluted and confusing.

Not even having cracked into the actual patterns yet, this book has already helped me in the way I think about object-oriented design.
As I read I keep thinking back to past projects and thinking about the techniques being described and how much they would've helped me at the time.
Buy it now, don't hesitate.

If you are a software developer, buy this book, period. It is expected that any professional developer has read this book front-to-back!
