Assuming you consider the GoF design patterns still worthy of teaching today, what resource do recommend for students? The original book?

@stilkov You remember being a student? :) The shorter the better! Fowlers 'refactoring' is pretty concise. GoF is a tome?

@stilkov Got into an argument with a colleague regarding this, so no definitive answer. I still think the original is brilliantly structured

@stilkov Head First Design Patterns is really good. Also consider just searching on @StackOverflow, many good answers there. #cleancode

@stilkov Something less verbose for reference, i.e. amazon.com/Certified-Enterpr… and examples, examples, examples...

@blockloop @tastapod @stilkov I blame Gof everytime I see a singleton. "It's in the book, it must be ok to use!" 1/2

@stilkov I really don’t. I think teaching patterns is valuable, and teaching design patterns. The GoF book is neither of these.
