Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software

Erich Gamma, Richard F. Helm, Ralph E. Johnson, John Vlissides

Open publisher page 21,853 citations

Abstract

The book is an introduction to the idea of design patterns in software engineering, and a catalog of twenty-three common patterns. The nice thing is, most experienced OOP designers will find out they've known about patterns all along. It's just that they've never considered them as such, or tried to centralize the idea behind a given pattern so that it will be easily reusable.
