Head First Design Patterns eBook Download
Normally Computer Science Academic text books are written in highfalutin language. But there is nothing wrong in that to have that type of languge. Here O'Reilly's Head First series breaks the textbook mold with verve.The most successful Head First effort, introducing the point of design patterns, the families of design patterns, and a selection of specific patterns with ease and elegance.
Head First Design Patterns is a great way to get a good overview (and some meat) about design patterns.
This will interest programmers and computer scientists the most, but as you learn near the end of the book, design pattern were first created by an architect! So if you're interested is solving problems or how to break apart a problem into pieces that are more easily solved, this book may interest you.
