Summary: New to Design Patterns? Just read this book!
Comment: This book amazes, starting from the way of presentation to the level of details.
I liked the concrete examples they are supplying, (ducks!) and how they relate the chapters together, the Fire chat! everything in this book is great,
The only limitation I found that the chapter related to the proxy pattern is quite complicated..
I liked the way they introduce the GOF book at the end of the book ..
Just buy it! and enjoy, doesn't matter if you are a java programmer or a C# or VB.NET you will get it easily
I am a VB.NET dev. and the Book depends on Java as a primary language, and I loved it

Summary: Not Just for Java
Comment: The examples in this book are written in Java, and although I am a C# developer, I thought the book was excellent! It is fun, interesting, and packs a lot of information and creativity into every page.
I was able to easily translate the examples into C# in all but the "Proxy pattern" and "MVC" chapters. For these, the code examples use components that are strictly found in Java (however, for the Proxy patterns you could attempt to following along using some form of web service). On these chapters I was still able to learn at a high level where these design patterns are meant to be used, so I wasn't frustrated while reading. That said, I would easily recommend this book to a C# developer. (If you visit the Head First website there is a link to download all the examples - except MVC - in C#)
This was my first Head First book, but it won't be my last. I have never read a tech book that was able to teach its allotted concepts in such an interesting way. I look forward to reading more from this series.

Summary: A great educiational book
Comment: This is an excellent book for learning design patterns. A word of warning; this is not a reference book! It is well written and easy to understand with uncomplicated examples. The innovative learning techniques are a defiant plus and are very helpful in retaining the material.

Summary: Years of frustration solved in 1 chapter
Comment: I have been doing c# programming for about 3 years now. Mostly I did web apps and some utilities, but did do a few larger applications. For that entire time, I could never get my head wrapped around interfaces. I knew how to create them, but not really why, so I just never used them. By the end of the first chapter in Design Patterns, it all finally `CLICKED`. On thinking back on some of the projects I did, if I had this book to begin with, the projects would have gone smoother, especially when requirements changed.
The way O'Reilly's does the Head First series is absolutely amazing. I already have the OO Analysis & Design book that is next on my list. After that, I think I will give the javascript book a shot, as that is something that always seemed to cause me grief, but if that book is anything like the Design Patterns, I don't see not being able to fully grasp it.
