Amazon.com Review
Design Patterns is a modern classic in the literature of object-oriented development, offering timeless and elegant solutions to common problems in software design. It describes patterns for managing object creation, composing objects into larger structures, and coordinating control flow between objects. The book provides numerous examples where using composition rather than inheritance can improve the reusability and flexibility of code. Note, though, that it's not a tutorial but a catalog that you can use to find an object-oriented design pattern that's appropriate for the needs of your particular application--a selection for virtuoso programmers who appreciate (or require) consistent, well-engineered object-oriented designs.
Product Description
Four top-notch authors present the first book containing a catalog of object-oriented design patterns. Readers will learn how to use design patterns in the object-oriented development process, how to solve specific design problems using patterns, and gain a common vocabulary for object-oriented design.

 The Classic Catalog January 5, 2009
This is THE dictionary of design pattern!
Do we comment on dictionaries?
The structure is neat and searchable,
I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction though for those who get bored quickly
Book on programming December 24, 2008
My grandson wanted it, I got it and he loved it. The order shipped and arrived in a timely fashion and it was in good condition.
 Gang of Four Rocks - Use it in undergrad bought it again for Grad December 11, 2008
I don't know if there is a better book on Design Pattern than this book written by the Gang of Four. I used this book in my Undergraduate life and after that I sold it, but Last year I bought it back again. Since its written long time ago the examples are written in C++ but I use Java for almost for all my development and haven't had any problem on translating the knowledge and applying it. I also recommend Design Patterns book by Head First along with this. Because it has more Java base implementation on Design patterns.
Scientific book, not a course December 8, 2008
dry reading, I didn't read it cover to cover, but that's not the intent of the book anyway. If you're into Design Patterns you ofcourse must-have this book for reference. To learn Design Patterns, start with another book then come back to this one
Design Patterns October 19, 2008
I thinks this is a great book for anyone wanting to learn or have a reference on design patterns. It does expect the user to know OO C++. It is definetly a book for software engineers to have on their collection.
