RE: OT - book on Java patterns

The de facto official reference for these patterns is Design Patterns, by Gamma, et. 
al., the now famous Gang of Four. This is the book that started all the madness back 
in '97 or so; pretty much all other books on design patterns can be said to be 
derivitives or enhancements on this original work.

One that I am in the process of reading right now is Patterns of Enterprise 
Application Architecture by Martin Fowler. It has some solid patterns from a 
J2EE/.NET (mostly J2EE) perspective, and is worth investigating after the GoF book has 
been studied.

 All this talk lately of various official patterns has my 
 brain hurting
 from the Unknown again.
 
 Can anyone recommend a good book on *patterns* - business 
 delegate, visitor,
 dao, etc. etc. etc.
 
 Thanks,

Yes, James, but the GoF book examples are written in a C-like pseudocode
syntax that is difficult for a non-C programmer to follow.  For a Java
parallel to the GoF book, I've found Applied Java Patterns (Stelting and
Maasen, Sun/PH 2002) and Design Patterns Java Workbook (Metsker, Addison
Wesley 2002) to be the best.

I can recommend (along with the GOF book which is really a reference book)
Agile Software Development - Principles, Patterns, and Practices by Robert
C. Martin.  Examples are in a mixture of Java and C++ and very good
examples.

Source is here: http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/bookstore/books/PPP
 
http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/bookstore/books/AgileSoftwareDevelopme
ntPPP

And if you get really stuck reading it, the author regularly posts to the
comp.object newsgroup.

As mentioned, Core J2EE Patterns 2d is quite good. The other key tests 
are Design Patterns and Patterns in Enterprise Architecture. We list 
such books here:

I think this is a good J2EE-oriented one; has some very practical examples if you are 
new to patterns.

Core J2EE Patterns: Best Practices and Design Strategies
by Deepak Alur (Author), John Crupi (Author), Dan Malks (Author)
