Books on Patterns

Wednesday, August 23, 2006 2:41 PM

Head First Design Patterns: A great first patterns book. Contains much more approachable discussions.

Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture: An extension of the Design Patterns book.

Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns: With Examples in C# and .NET: A recent addition that synthesizes TDD, DDD, ORM, AOP, IoC into one text that is focused on .Net.

Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software: The canonical book on software patterns.

Refactoring to Patterns: Surprise, its about using refactoring techniques to convert existing code to use Design Patterns.

Update:

Design Patterns C#: Thanks Tony

# re: Books on Patterns

Although it's written in with Java in mind, Head First design patterns is easily one of the best books about Design patterns out there.

I await a Patterns for Dummies book though, with baited breath :P 8/23/2006 8:29 PM | Russ C.

I'd add Design Patterns in C# by Metsker. It plays of the GoF book with C# in mind. It does seem to assume you have the GoF book for an extensive discussion of the pattern, but why wouldn't you have that book? 8/24/2006 12:00 AM | Tony Trudeau
