Design Patterns is a book that offers a wealth of experience on the design of object-oriented software. In this book, four top-notch designers present a catalog of 23 simple and succinct solutions to commonly occurring design problems that allow designers to create more flexible, elegant, and ultimately reusable designs without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves. 

The book begins by describing what patterns are and how they can help you design object-oriented software. The authors go on to systematically name, explain, evaluate, and catalog recurring designs in object-oriented systems. By following this guide, readers will learn how these important patterns fit into the software development process and how to leverage them to solve their own design problems most efficiently.

Each pattern describes the circumstances in which it is applicable, when it can be applied in view of other design constraints, and the consequences and trade-offs of using the pattern within a larger design. These patterns are compiled from real systems and are based on real-world examples. Additionally, each pattern includes code that demonstrates how it can be implemented in object-oriented programming languages, such as C++ or Smalltalk.

Must-Read for Every Software Developer and Engineer

This classic is deemed a must-read for software developers, engineers, and architects and is featured on just about every must-read list (including lists from ZDNET, DZone, Guru99, Built In, Geeks for Geeks, Hacker News, and more) as a bible for solving software design problems efficiently. Despite being one of the oldest books on a software engineer’s shelf, it is still THE guide to creating reusable designs that are elegant and flexible, without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves.
