A must read to get a solid foundation of DP

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.

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.
