I'm reading that book right now, and it is excellent!
The book loooks like a for dummies boook, but it is not. It introduces
different programmers, a guru programmer, a skeptical programmer and a
number of others. The skeptical programmer is the best though. She always
wears black, and always has here arms crossed, but she is constantly picking
apart the designs, and the authors have to defend what and why the patterns
work. She is on my side, because with books on topics like these always
provoke questions. Having her in the book gives me a proxy.
Also to contrast between different patterns the authors let the patterns
argue with one an other. IE the template method and stratagy methods talk
out there differences.
The book is written for Java though. It points out how close the languages
are though. Most of the examples are not related to the Java framework, but
they do have an example the shows how the template method used in the
Array.sort, and the Compareable interface. The only difference in the code
is the putting an I on the interface and Capitalizing the "S" in sort. Other
that that they are identical implementations. kind of scary.
Anyway, definately worth the $50
