I am not the only person that&#8217;s saying that. Check out Amazon.com reviews, check out recomendations from Martin Fowler. If you&#8217;re into architecture, this is a must read. (As a side benefit, you&#8217;ll enjoy reading it.)<\/p>\n<p>By reading this book, you&#8217;ll not only gain design patterns knowledge, you&#8217;ll get an excellent discussion about architecture in general, and a great OO design discussion.<\/p>\n<p>This book is broken up into eight different sections. The three sections that I enjoyed the most (major part of the book) are architectural patterns, design patterns, and patterns and software architecture discussion.<\/p>\n<p>In the architecture patterns section, the authors have an excellent discussion about the Layers pattern, the Broker pattern, MVC, and Presentation Abstraction Control. I especially enjoyed the Layers and the Broker pattern. (My understanding of the Layers pattern was a little different before reading this book.)<\/p>\n<p>In the design section, I found the following especially valuable Whole-Part, Master-Slave, Forwarder-Receiver, and Client-Dispatcher.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion about software architecture in general and about object-oriented design in chapter 6 is one of the best. It&#8217;s always good to refresh your mind how your project should be structured, the qualities it should have. Always valuable.<\/p>\n<p>This is a must read if you&#8217;re into architecture and design. You will become better at it by reading (and implementing) the patterns cointained in this book. One of my most valuable books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of the best design patterns books. I am not the only person that&#8217;s saying that.
