Yet despite their widespread acceptance,design patterns are frequently misunderstood. These authors learned patternsthe hard way, and their original aim in writing this book (providing the readerwith a gentle yet thorough introduction to design patterns) continues in thesecond edition. This book is the perfect book to read before the reader tries totackle Gamma's famous work, and has been updated to reflect recent trendsand developments in software design UR - https://www.vlebooks.com/vleweb/product/openreader?id=WestLondon&isbn=9780321630049 ER -
