Title: For learning design patterns...
Review: This book covers roughly the same territory as the GOF (Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides) book, only with simpler examples, in Java.I found it easier to read than GOF; it gave me with a better overall understanding of the topic in general, and of specific design patterns. Grand's book may be slightly less valuable as a reference, however, when you need to actually use one of the patterns.
Is the review positive or negative?
