This is one of the most well written books on computer science ever! The essence is the simplicity. The best part is that each pattern is started with an example, then how programmers generally code the solution, why it can be wrong, and how a DP will make life simpler. Awesome book!

    It's a very good book about design patterns. It shows the patterns in a very funny way.

    Best of the design pattern books out there. It is much easier to digest than the GoF (Gang of Four) book. As always, Head First presents the material in a fun way.

    Good book, if you are a java person it is very good, if you are a .net person it is ok, there may be better books for .net people.

    Outstanding book to get into, best of all, the example script worked...can't tell you how many times I've gotten into programming guides only to discover that their stuff was made to make me think and not to tinker with. This is a fantastic read and a great guide.

    It helped me understand why there were so many abstractions in JAVA code. quite useful for a beginner who's probably taking up code to maintain and does not understand why the original author wrote something the way he/she did. But it was a little too verbose - and a bit distracting as well with their examples.

    This is a great book for learning about patterns, and some of the more common patterns in use. Very handy for any developer or a software designer. I don't think this book is right for someone who already knows a lot about patterns, but perfect for a novice.

    This book is a very solid introduction to the basics of Design Patterns. It's valuable as both a tool to teach you how to use Design Patterns, as well as a way to recognize Design Patterns in existing code when you see them. This is a very valuable book to read if you're learning Object Oriented Development.
