Head First Design Patterns: Building Extensible and Maintainable Object-Oriented Software 2nd Edition Review: Surprisingly good! - I didn't expect much, but this covers a lot of great basic design patterns, and its examples are top notch. I could do with a little less of the "fun" cartoon stuff, that's just filler, but if you skip over the filler, the actual information it gives is awesome. It is a little cartoony at times, and it does have a lot of random "fun" things like pictures of people with dialog bubbles saying stuff. I could really do without all that, but the core examples and design patterns are awesome. Personally, I just wish they would cut out like 60% of the random "conversations" and "gurus" and "people" and include 60% more design patterns instead. Still a really solid book though. Examples are in Java and they're great. Very straight forward and easy to follow. You can understand the idea just by glancing at the code. Has a lot of good designs. You're bound to already be familiar with some of the "design patterns", but I find that if even one gives me some new ideas or makes me think about things in a new way, then it was worth the purchase price. I've loved it so far personally. Review: Pattern the design patterns - The concepts and explanation are good and the examples are realistic and were able to apply in real time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #45,485 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Object-Oriented Software Design #9 in Object-Oriented Design #27 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,380) | | Dimensions | 7.75 x 1.5 x 9 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 149207800X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1492078005 | | Item Weight | 2.65 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Head First | | Print length | 669 pages | | Publication date | January 12, 2021 | | Publisher | O'Reilly Media | ## Images ![Head First Design Patterns: Building Extensible and Maintainable Object-Oriented Software 2nd Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91quawUTiVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly good! *by B***N on July 23, 2024* I didn't expect much, but this covers a lot of great basic design patterns, and its examples are top notch.
