C# - Gang Of Four - Design Patterns, Elements Of Reusable Object Oriented Software Erich Gamma, John M. Vlissides, Ralph Johnson, Richard Helm
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional

C++ programmers will use the patterns if they tend to use virtual function, but some people tend to use templates to make reusable code instead of virtual funct ions. The fifth chapter is the first part of the EDP catalog. Also known as the “Gang of Four” (GoF) book, Design Patterns is full of elegant solutions to commonly occurring problems in software design. In the past 6 months, I have been reading and studying the well-known book Design Patterns, Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides (GOF). The pattern specifications follow the same form as in GOF's Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to try and port each of the patterns described in the Gang of Four's seminal work Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software into C#. In 1994, Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides (aka The Gang of Four) released "Design Patterns: Elements of Re-Usable Object-Oriented Software" Over the past 12 years, this book has has become a fixture on the shelves of computer software engineers around the world. Other books I've read and recommend. C# in Depth: What you need to master C# 2 and 3 by Jon Skeet This is for serious C# developers who already have a background in the language. Design patterns in software engineering gained more popularity and exposure after the book by the Gang of Four, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software was published.
