Head First Design Patterns

posted Thursday, March 24, 2005 11:07 PM
A colleague at work recently purchased Head First Design Patterns.  After spending a couple nights reading it he recommended it to some others in the department.  Today I saw that it won a Jolt award which is usually a very good indicator of a book that you’d want to spend some time reading.  I ordered a copy after the initial recommendation so I’m looking forward checking it out.  Design Pattern books are generally pretty dry which I’m told is not an issue with Head First.  Hopefully after spending some time with it I’ll remember to post a review to let you know if it’s worth picking up.

I have that book as well. I think it was pretty well writen. The flow of chapters is different then most of the books I've read.

I highly recommend that book, and really any in the Head First series. They do a good job of demystifying a lot of things, and I tend to think they're well suited to someone with attention span...um..."issues".

It's a great book. I plan to use it as primary source and use GOF book as an alternate reference.
