| 1. | Excellent - finally something I can easily understand! |
| (Australia) January 19, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| I bought several other books on design patterns and frameworks, they all
went straight over my head, the explanations were all way to complicated
and written by pointed headed professors for pointed headed professors,
this book explains it in a fun easy to learn matter.. |

| 2. | The best entry-level title on patterns |
| (Savosa Switzerland) January 4, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| I was pretty surprised to see the Head First team covering design patterns,
since the topic easily lend to dry, academic, books. I am even more
surprised by the end results,
It's the best entry-level title on
patterns... read full review |

| 3. | Trouble with GoF? Read this first. |
| (Somerville, MA United States) December 28, 2004 - 5.0/5 stars |
| As another reader said, GoF is the best book on patterns. Sure. It is THE
book. And if you can pick it up off the shelf without knowing anything
about patterns to begin with, and read more than a chapter without... read full review |

| 5. | A really fun way to present technical content |
| (Chiavari, Italy) January 21, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| "Head First Design Patterns", from O'Reilly, is a true joy to read, which
is saying an awful lot for a tech book. Eric & Elisabeth Freeman have
succeeded in taking a potentially mind-numbing technical stuff and
presenting... read full review |

| 6. | Spiffy, Rewarding, Inspiring |
| (Minneapolis, MN USA) January 27, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| I bought this book because I felt I was missing crucial parts of
programming "theory" and it definitely filled in the gaps. Then, there
was the added bonus of re-inspiring me about programming.
First of
all, they claim... read full review |

| 7. | Awsome!!! |
| (Minneapolis, MN USA) May 31, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| The best book of all time, I wish lectures and training courses used the
techniques that this book uses.
One thing that would make it
better is color pages, but you cant have everything.

have to poke yourself... read full review |

| 9. | Very good book for learning design patterns and better OOP |
| (Lakewood, WA USA) January 28, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| Ok, I need to admit that I'm only into this book about 30 pages, but I've
already had some very big Ahas. I checked out a couple of books on this
subject, and this one is quite readable. I didn't get it on Amazon (I
wanted it now), so I paid too much, but it's worth it. |

| (PA USA) December 11, 2004 - 5.0/5 stars |
| This is an excellent book for learning patterns. It is technical sound and
entertaining. I buy every book out there on patterns. This one will join
the ranks of one of those read from front to back. It is very well done. |
