Easily the best programming book I have read in years. Takes a hard look at structuring very large scale programs into class and data / object relationships to remove 'spagetti object' coding style that is so prevelant in many C++ programs existing today. Since 1997, I have directly implemented many of the techniques discussed into my object library, and the payoff is tremendous. Needs a careful and thoughtfull reading; the more experience you have, the more this makes since. It is way beyond, and in an oppisite direction, of what college teaches.
Great book!

It is a great book but certainly not for beginners. Explains a new concept of Pattern Classes which encapsulate design patterns. One thing missing is however that the book should have given the details of the patterns by the author, in a more organized manner. They are haphazardly spread through the book. (Not really that haphazard but actually, difficult to find unlike the Gamma et. all book which describes the patterns in a catalogue form.
