Book:		Head First Design Patterns
Subject:		Finally, a fun way to learn about design patterns!

Rating: Usually when reading through a book or article on design patterns I'd have to occasionally stick myself in the eye with something just to make sure I was paying attention - until I picked up this book. The first thing you notice is the pages are not paragraph after paragraph of information. There isn't a single page that doesn't contain a doodle, a sidebar, a picture, or something different. While at times it can be a little distracting, it's in a good way (at least I don't have to poke myself with something sharp anymore). The chapters cover various design patterns and along the way have exercises such as crossword puzzles or match games to test your understanding. The answers are also included at the end of the chapters - so you don't need to purchase a "Teacher's Edition" on the black market. =) Typically, books on design patterns are saying, "Buehler... Buehler... Buehler...". This book is belting out "Shake it up, baby!"

"One of the funniest and smartest books on software design I've ever read."

Anonymous Reader, the Ferris quote is just brilliant and it describes exactly the kind of experience we want all readers to have!

Eric

P.S. Can we use that quote in the next printing? ;)
