Just as a note, here are some of my original sentiments regarding the original "Design Patterns" book: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hackers-il/message/1971 What I'm saying there is: {{{{{{{{{{{{{ So, with great expectation I bought the CD-ROM version of the book, which contained the book in HTML format. That, and the fact that it occupied only a few tens of megabytes made reading the book a very good experience convenience-wise. However, right now I have an ambivalent feeling toward the book. AFAICT, a large part of the book was dedicated to try to convince me that it was actually possible to do OOP in C++[1], rather than to explain why the patterns were useful. I believe I would have enjoyed it more, had it used Perl or Python or some other OO dynamically-typed langauge as the language for its code. But, with C++, I'm having difficulty separating between patterns that are actually useful to patterns that help overcome C++ idiosyncrecies. }}}}}}}}}}}}} I should note Paul Graham mentions here - http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html that : {{{{{{{{{{{{ Peter Norvig found that 16 of the 23 patterns in Design Patterns were "invisible or simpler" in Lisp. }}}}}}}}}}}} (linking to http://www.norvig.com/design-patterns/ ) There's also more in the thread.
