Customer Reviews

Excellent
For any developer who needs to write scalable applications this is a must for your bookshelf. It is very well written and explains how the patterns work backed up with good examples. Anyone who is unsure about how to implement a particular pattern for their solution will get a good understanding after reading this book.

All the expected patterns are in there, mvc with composite, decorator, proxy and state patterns to name a few.

If you are new to design patterns I'm sure you will quickly see the benefits once you start to pad out the examples with your own code.
