 Head First Design Patterns October 20, 2008
Very good book with a very good concept. It takes your hand and follow you in understanding some important programming patterns which will make your life easier.
 Great Book! October 9, 2008
This was my first book from Head First, and i love it! The book uses an easy approach (besides the schema in each chapter) to make you understand the different patterns. I think the book is good for junior and mid senior people.
Head First Design Patterns (Head First) October 7, 2008
This book is like eating icecream. You expend Zero effort in learning valuable information about design patterns for oo development.
This is how learning should be September 24, 2008
First, a little background: I have been programming since 1998 and my primary programming language is C#. My main area of development is ASP.NET websites.
For years I have been trying to get my head around software design patterns, but I kept running into road blocks. I tried learning about them from a combination of websites and books, but none of them seemed to communicate the practical reasons for learning design patterns. I decided to give up on learning them.
Several years went by and the gnawing question about the usefulness of software design patterns resurfaced in my head. I came across Head First Design Patterns, saw the great reviews and decided to take a chance. I am sure glad I did.
Not only is this easily the best design patterns book I have read, this may be one of the best books, teaching a complicated technology topic, I have ever read. This book was created with me in mind. The book is educational, entertaining, and does a good job of showing the practical side of the topic. The examples are all in Java, but I was able to easily translate them into C#.
If you want to learn object oriented design patterns, buy this book. I will definitely be checking out other Head First titles.
Readable and Understandable September 13, 2008
This is a book that I recommend to all of the software developers I work with, it is so much more than the gang of 4, it is actually readable. The unique format used to address the topics helps with retention and understandability. The only complaint that I would have about the book, and the reason I gave it 4 stars, is that the examples used are impractical and sometimes silly. The authors also could have alluded more to the usages of algorithms and efficiency of code.
