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.

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. -= J > -----Original Message----- > From: Sasha Borodin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 5:23 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: OT - book on Java patterns > > > 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, > > -Sasha > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
