Rating: I am AMAZED by the head first approach. I purchased "Head first design patterns", and I love it. I can't express how grateful I am that for once someone company tried to deliver knowledge in a different (and in my eyes very much more effective!) way. Actually after having taken a look into HFDP I picked up the "gang of four", because -- after all -- it does look more "serious" and has an excellent reputation, so I thought I might maybe be better of buying this one. About one minute later I was purchasing the Head First book. And yes, it's that great. I am actually looking forward to reading a new chapter, every time I have to take a break. (Remember? It's a book about software design theory, not a Dan Brown thriller, right?) It's funny, informational, and it gets the knowledge into my brain. I love it. But - I have one little plea: "HEAD FIRST UML 2.0". Everyone seems to love UML, but -- to be honest -- this is by far the most boring, dry, non-practical, headache-creating stuff to be learned by reading a book. But after seeing the Head First approach, I start to think that this could be done a bit better ... :)
