Design Pattern Books

[RSH]

Hi,

I have read the GOF design Pattern book but Im having trouble drawing the
paralell in C#. I know there are quite a few Design pattern books out there
but are there any good ones aimed at C# intermediate developers?

Thanks!
Ron

Head First Design Patterns ( Java based, but brings the ideas down to
better hands on experience).
You ~can get C# source code, but the book has java syntax.


I have this one:
0201844532 <<ISBN
and its c# specific, but I'd still recommend the Head First book over it.


www.dofactory.com has C# specific stuff as well.


Here is a link:

My secondary advice is to go on ebay, and buy several books, used....
any language like java, c# or vb.net

The ideas are more abstract than any specific language.
And I usually learn something each each book. Each author has the ability
to demonstrate with different examples in a unique way.

Book:

Design Patterns in C# / Steven John Metsker

(I have not read the book, but the title sounds relevant for you)

I'll second that recommendation. I picked it up a while ago and its really
decent at explaining many of the common design patterns. Plus, it seems to be
written for programming students, and is designed to be engaging and non-boring.
