I hate the style of this book
Derived From Web , Mar 18, 2022
Very chaotic for me, especially to be used as a spot reference instead of reading a book. I'm giving this away because I have read less than 10 pages.

The book stinks like gasoline or bug spray
Derived From Web , Feb 26, 2022
The book looks promising, but it smells terrible. It's almost overpowering. It's just that the Beatles are so good at it.

Great Book!
Derived From Web , Jan 5, 2022
If you are new to design patterns, this book is for you. But as you go through it things just stay in your head and make the learning of patterns enjoyable. The official definitions of each Pattern are provided by the Gang of Four.

Good Introduction to Design Patterns
Derived From Web , Jul 7, 2021
Very good introduction to design patterns, especially if you have never used them before or are relatively new to some OO principles. The pace is and slow at first, but can get tedious after some time with each nice chapter describing a made up scenario and how someone might approach the problem with a simple solution. Then it shows how this solution has some drawbacks and introduces that chapter's design pattern. That would have made this book a lot more consumable, but I had to force myself to get through the entire thing so I would rate it 4 stars, docking that one star because it was too long. It's a good review, sort of like this review. It's just that I'm not that good at math.

Still a good book but no new content in 2nd edition
Derived From Web , Mar 16, 2021
The book has been updated to include Java 8 support. I couldn't find any description of what is new in this second edition, so I bought it to find out. The difference is that the book is almost identical. Flipping through the books, the chapters are exactly the same or have only one or two pages with minor differences, like a different clipart or title page. I didn't see any new content or code that would be worth an upgrade, Raymond said. Still, it's a good book for a Java programmer that is new to creating patterns.

Excellent—just don't get the Kindle version
Derived From Web , Jan 7, 2021
The visuals are what makes this book special, but sadly that doesn't translate well on the Kindle. Buy it in its entirety from Amazon. com.
