This repo contains some examples of Design Patterns in Java; it was split off from my main javasrc repo to keep the latter from becoming bottom-heavy.
The original book that popularized Design Patterns - after they were in use for a decade in the CS community - is Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Software, by Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides, known more concisely as the Gang of Four or even the GoF.
A less academic, more memorable, more fun read is O’Reilly’s Head-First Design Patterns.
