 Rating:  - Excellent for gaining understandingI found this book excellent. Being a professional software engineer in the financial industry I always enjoy reading a good text book but this one stands out in that it helped me understand the patterns in a much more complete and thorough fashion.

This book impressed me by the way it took you through implementations of the design patterns in order to help break the learning curve down into more manageable segments.
