Media Reviews
'I think this is one of the more useful books about Patterns that I have come across. Its unity spans a wide ranch from those curious about ideas ... to those who are already regular users of Pattern concepts. Definitely one for your bookshelf.' Journal of the Assoication of C & C++ Users
Some of the ideas reflected in the book are subtle and profound, but there is not a single article that is difficult to read. If the patterns movement has the ambition of making software development 'more human', then this book gives a true reflection of that aim. For hard-pressed software engineers, the book's organization is excellent-- you can dip into its rich collection and just read what you need. It's a powerful resource and a delightful read--an important, must-buy book. Application Development Advisor

I think this is one of the more useful books about Patterns that I have come across. Its utility spans a wide range from those curious about the ideas (but perhaps daunted by the GoF's Design Patterns) to those who are already regular users of Pattern concepts. Definitely one for your bookshelf. Francis Glassborow, AG Communication Systems
An excellent discussion of pattern templates... Software Development
