If you feel like this: GoF makes me very sleepy - I find it very dry and the chapters very long
winded. (Sorry GoF'rs)
then: I would be interested to know if Head First Design Patterns follows the
same process as Moock - "learn by doing". I can handle that, although I will keep delving into GoF, keeping an oven timer handy to bring me back from the brink.
You will probably get a lot out of this book. The examples are (within reason) interesting, and as with all the head first books and they've made a very concerted effort to liven up what is to some a fairly dry topic. I learnt a lot from this book; now if i need to research a particular pattern, mostly i'll use the internet. http://www.google.com/codesearch is great for examples. Also would highly recommend ActionScript 3 Design Patterns by Joey Lott and Danny Patterson, for any actionscript programmers wanting to understand appliying patterns in flash/flex, it covers most of the main ones. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
