 | Outstanding! In 2002, I had attempted to read the original "Gang of Four" design patterns book and found myself quickly confused. To my shagrin, I proceeded to ignore the topic since, until I ran into Microsoft's .NET Enterprise Library, which talked about "patterns and practices". I knew the advancement of my career in computing largely depended on my understanding of this topic as well as fundamental computing algorithms (which I never took in college). So, I picked this design patterns book written for C# programmers up in my local Barnes & Noble bookstore. Wow! Crystal clear! Certainly, I had to re-read a few sections to make them stick, but I quickly bought the eBook version of it and began pouring over the content. After finishing the book, I knew I had to make the topic stick to my brain, so I jotted some notes, summarizing the patterns as best served my memory. If you want to learn design patterns, this may be the book for you! I suppose now I'll have to get back in the bookstore and try out the original "GoF" book again... |
