Review title: Technically lacking but filled with GoF insight
Product review: This was an interesting book that gave some insight into the process the GoF used to establish their famous design patterns. Initially the book utilizes a file system example when discussing new patterns and detailing existing patterns. This example disappears after the first 50 pages. The discussion of why some patterns did or did not become patterns in their own right was interesting but not very useful in a programming sense.If you're looking for a book that lets you see into the back room of how the GoF works this is a good one but if you're hoping to be more knowledgable in how to apply patterns or expecting new patterns this book will leave you wanting..Still, an enjoyable read that was well written and interesting!
