Can anyone recommended a good book on design patterns?

I've never had a complete survey on the different design patterns. It would be a good read over the Christmas break.

That seems like its aimed at beginner programmers. I've been programming for several years now, but I've only been exposed to a subset of design patterns.

I know the style can be a turn off.... but I'm not sure many "Beginner" programmers" read up on design patterns. IMO it's targeted at "beginners to design patterns". The style makes for a quick read and you can get something more advanced afterwards.

I actually read that one right after the HF book and they do make a good combo if you haven't been exposed to any patterns yet.

Pretty much everyone I work with owns that book. I even owned it in the late 1990s when doing a comp sci degree. It really seems to be the holy bible of design patterns.

Because that book is the Bible for any serious developer working in an OO language. I love it, have read it cover to cover and use these patterns on a daily basis.

Edit - be aware that the book predates UML, so the graphical notation is a little weird.
