Book Reviews of Design Patterns Explained: A New Perspective on Object-Oriented Design (2nd Edition) (Software Patterns Series)
Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
A superb book. The explanations were clear and every time I thought of a question the author immediately answered it which just shows how much thought went in to the book.
As someone who, stupidly, never really looked at patterns before I have to say this book was perfect. If you take the time with some of the chapters, particularly the one about the Bridge pattern, then you can come up with the actual pattern before the author gives it. You can do this because the authors give you the information and context you need to work out what the solution will be.
The only slightly annoying point about the book is that the self satisfaction of the authors sometimes gets in the way of more important matters, however that doesn't spoil a good book.
I would recommend that anyone who enjoys this book goes on to look at the books written by Craig Larman, Robert C. Martin and Joshua Kerievsky. They all cover object oriented design and patterns in more detail.
