A design pattern is a standard solution to a class of problems, but the solution is a little too complex to stomp out with a single class or a code generator.
People, however, can generate the standard solutions after having seen a few example solutions. Humans have some magical ability to pull out the common abstraction, even when they can’t understand how they do it, and can’ reformulate the abstraction into concrete general purpose code.

| The publisher is Addison Wesley. Sometimes called "the gang of four book" They define design patterns as: descriptions of communicating objects and classes that are customised to solve a general design problem in a particular context. A design pattern names, abstracts, and identifies the key aspects of a common design structure that make it useful for creating a reusable object-oriented design. The design pattern identifies the participating classes and instances, their roles and collaborations, and the distribution of responsibilities. Easy to wrap your mind around, eh? Design Pattern people are in love with the power of abstraction and generality. You might even say they prefer to impress rather than inform. However, somehow you are going to have to learn this stuff, even if only to get into the heads of the guys who designed the AWT and Swing. Try starting with the code samples in this Design Patterns book. | |||

| A more accessible book, partly because the examples are all in Java and partly because he has less invested in persuading you how important and brilliant their discoverers are. | ||
