Hi, I am coming from Java background. I am looking for the best book to learn the Gangs of Four patterns and Design patterns. Let me know on the same. Thanks, Karthik
Here's another resource: Bruce Eckell's Thinking In Patterns. I can't say this is my favorite of his work, but I think he does all the GoF patterns in Java. Oh, and read it free online! [ January 20, 2004: Message edited by: Stan James ]
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
In my opinion, design patterns are to be realized intuitively when we come across a scenario in software design. The best book i came across was "Applying UML and Patterns by Craig Larman" I read it in the context of preparing for the IBM's UML exam. The book explains a single case study from start to finish and realizes the design patterns during the course of explanation. I found it to be very useful and much better than the standard (GoF book, which i have).
The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus
