Is the GoF book still the one to read? Thanks for the links. My first feeling is that if one doesn't need super control of algorithm details it makes more sense to develop with these kinds of languages. I can imagine that the current scenario is too many people using Java/c#/Delphi while they could be more productive in Python and Co. Am I correct? |

Is the GoF book still the one to read? This is a very interesting answer. For me this is a totally new coincept. I am a Delphi developer (so somehow facing the same problems that java/c# developers face), but I am interested in learning new things. May you please shed some more light (maybe giving me a reference to a link) on " the patterns are a good way to solve some problems inherent to languages without higher-order constructs"? Thanks. |

Software development books are useful, but when to find the time to read them? Yes this is a very smart advice. I am not joking at all. With kids around the house (and the desire to stay as much as possible with them) it is often difficult to find free time except for bathroom time. Unfortunately I optimized for speed all my methods that interact with the Bathroom object ;) |

Is the GoF book still the one to read? Thanks for the suggestions, I read Larman's book, a very nice read, I read Fowler's for refactoring and I am reading "The art of unit testsing with examples in .net" + I ordered a couple of books on TDD. I will study your list and keep in my wish list. |

Is the GoF book still the one to read? @Jonas I am in "Object Functional Oriented programming". Means I have a legacy application written in Object Pascal, written by people that didn't know about OOP, for whom objects are just containers of procedures. Anyway the goal I have is to make it maintainable, to refactor some core areas, and see if I can survive. Now it is quite a lot spaghetti code, procedural code, at least 4 different teams worked on it. Function names with wrong or misleading names "like a function that zips a file is called "ZipUnzip"".... Terrible ground. But now I want to tackle this task and stop crying... |

Is the GoF book still the one to read? I bought them both, they shipped today. In the mean time I am half way through FOwler's refactoring. I bought it 3 years ago, but i was too a beginner to understand it. Now I can understand and I am ready to tackle the legacy Delphi application I am maintaining and attack it with unit tests and refactorings. THis is why i want also to know more on design patterns. I also ordered Michal Feather's book on Legacy applications. |

Software development books are useful, but when to find the time to read them? Yes, good list. It could seem obvious, but I think everyone knows that in practice it isn't. |

Software development books are useful, but when to find the time to read them? +1 for "time is made". I know what do you mean, I expereinced the same when I decided to take a piano degree. I was able to find the time. Of course I didn't get top mark, but it was for my personal satisfaction. And I found lot of time. And at that time I also "had no time". |
