Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, Volume 1: A System of Patterns

Amazon.com: Books: Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, Volume 1: A System of Patterns: "It's a nice reading after the GoF book. The GoF book provides more practical and easy to implement design level patterns, so I suggest you start from it first. After that, if you want to continue your journey in the software patterns, you should read this one. The first 300+ pages, talking about Architectureal Patterns/Design Patterns, are very good. The rest 100 pages are still interesting, but are a little bit light. Overall, it's a worth reading for software architects/developers. I'd like to give it 4.5 stars - well, 5 stars should also be O.K., considering there are so many quick & rush computer books on the market. "
