A must read to get a solid foundation of DP

I am really happy that I found this book. It gives you a solid foundation on which you can build your design pattern skills. The chapter on MetaPatterns itself is worth the price of the book. After reading this book you will stop memorizing design patterns, you will start recognizing them as one of the metapptern described in this book. I am really surprised that this book is not as popular as GOF book, though it is mentioned in some of the articles written by the authors of the POSA1 book.

An excellent book about design pattern

It was a coincidence that I found this book. First I thought - just another book about that topic. But was the book has to give is far more than many other books of this topic do. I think it is at least worth the same as Design Patterns by the gang of four. In my opinion someone should read it before that book. It offers a view from above. I never want to miss it.
