Design Patterns and Refactoring

Yes, it's that topic - Design Patterns - we all want to master it, but somehow we never really finish reading the first couple of chapters of the book. Why? Well in my defense, it's boring!

But before I throw myself under the bus, I just want to say that I've been wanting (as a personal goal) for months -even years- to dominate the topic of Software Design Patterns. I've even bought an extra book from the people of "Heads First" but for some reason I can't stick with it long enough to learn them.

Yesterday at work one of our engineers shared a great resource that seems to present the topic of Patterns in a more human way. I haven't read and revised the whole site, but what I've seen has been really good!

SourceMaking

They cover Patterns, Anti-Patterns and Refactoring. Check them out and let me know what you think, as I too will be reading it.
