Hi! I am a web developer. I am new to design patterns in web applications. And design patterns is a part of SCEA so I thought this would be best place to ask this.

Which are the best books from which I can learn design patterns that will be beneficial for me in my development work. I saw someone mention some good design pattern books in results section but I can't find that thread now. So please suggest me one or two good books which are the best.

Thanks

The famous Gang of Four book is still the best book to learn about design patterns.

In addition to GoF I'd recommend

Core J2EE Patterns: Best Practices and Design Strategies (2nd Edition)
Core Security Patterns: Best Practices and Strategies for J2EE(TM), Web Services, and Identity Management

Yes, those 2 books are recommended by Sun as well (on a resources page in SCEA 5 Beta time).

Head First Design Patterns is pretty good, but it doesn't cover all GoF design patterns, just about half of them.

Design patterns [GoF] is very detailed, and it's the original, I strongly recommend it.

'Design Patterns Explained, A New Perspective on Object Oriented Design' is also a great companion text to the GoF.

HF Design Patterns and Core J2EE Patterns (2ed).

Both are very useful books (at least based on exam coverage).

I agree, I also would like to mention this gem of a book for GoF, short and precise and its also published under Creative Commons.
I think its an excellent heads on no fuss, but still educational.
