Agile Software Development: Principles, Practices and Patterns, by Bob Martin is also FANTASTIC.
It takes a similar approach of introducing patterns in the context of a real application. The "principles" are IMHO even more important than the patterns and I know of know other volume that groups them all together. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0135974445/ I have Alan Shalloway's _Design Patterns Explained_ on my wish list. I attended a couple of his presentations at the SDExpo in Boston and thought he did a great job of explaining them in a way that those of us who don't have a Smalltalk background can understand. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201715945/ Patrick -- Patrick McElhaney 704.560.9117 http://pmcelhaney.blogspot.com I still have 5 gmail invites. ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
