C# - Gang Of Four - Design Patterns, Elements Of Reusable Object Oriented Software Erich Gamma, John M. Vlissides, Ralph Johnson, Richard Helm
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional

I never finished the series for lack of time. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series) by Erich Gamma (Author), Richard Helm (Author), Ralph Johnson (Author), John M. I am looking to pick up a design pattern book to flip through in my down time at work. I began myself writing a series of Delphi examples aiming to explain the classic design patterns as defined in "Design Patterns (Elements of reusable Object-Oriented Software)" by the "Gang of Four" (GOF). I hear the "gang of four"'s book is pretty solid, but it seems.. The verb “Software Pattern” is present for couple of decades and it came into limelight with GOF (Gang of Four) publishing their book “Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software” in 1994. Well kinda dated (about 10 years old). The most talked about books were “Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object Oriented Software” by GOF, and “Head First Design Patterns”. This DZone Refcard provides a quick reference to the original 23 Gang of Four design patterns, as listed in the book Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. Delphi's implementation of interfaces lacks of either a garbage collector (as C# or Java do (ab)use), or at least a native weak reference support (as with Apple's ARC model). While blog posts and other online sources are good for quick answers, nothing beats sitting down with a well-written book on a subject. World code, it is more difficult than expected. The infamous (that's them pictured- honest) Gang of Four: Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides published their famous book 'Design Patterns, Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software'. Is this still a worth while NET (VB and C#) and SQL guy. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software.
