Hello:
Are there any very good books talking about the
patterns in Java? I don't know C++.
Thanks in advance,
Sarah

You have Alan Shalloway's Design Patterns Explained, which seems to be a good book (see the online sample: Bridge Pattern). I have ordered it but I still haven't got it.
You can also find The design pattern java companion by James Cooper online.

Thanks a lot, Wilfried and Jose.
'Alan Shalloway's Design Patterns Explained' is
really a good book after I read online sample- Bridge Pattern.

Um... Haven't you read last news? Computer scientists at the University of California discovered a totally new, 24-th pattern! Sorry, but GoF book is obsolete by now!
Kidding.
I read both books and I would prefer "Design Patterns Explained" to start with - because they marvelously explain what patterns are, what underlying theory, or call it philosophy, is, and how to "think in patterns".
"didn't discuss all core 23 patterens" - unfortunately there is no way to memorize "all core 23 patterens" and be able to apply them. You need to understand what you are doing!
What is better: to memorize first 23 prime numbers or to know what prime numbers are and what the formula is, and to be able to calculate next 123 or how many you need yourself?
After you read "Design Patterns Explained" - you can read any other book on patterns, with "core 23" or whatever

And some of the core patterns are... how best to put this... a complete waste of time and effort to learn as you will never use them in your professional career. The GOF book was meant to initiate discussions about patterns. It was not meant to be the end of the discussion.
