Yeah, the GoF book is definitely like reading a calculus textbook. It's dry and to the point and the examples are in Smalltalk and some C++, which means a lot of cross-referencing with google. The concepts they discuss and the examples they give are helpful to a point but code examples you can't understand definitely get in the way.
GoF's is good reference book worth owning, and once you grasp design patterns more firmly, you'll probably get more from it. Head First is a lot more accessible out the gate. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
