The second book of patterns?

Hi,

I bought the "design patterns" books by the gang of four, and I wonder
if there are additional books (or other resources) covering the subject,
or more exactly adding to it (new patterns, etc).

Thanks,
Moah, full time turnip.

Take a look at "Agile Software Development: Principles, Patterns, and
Practices" http://www.objectmentor.com/PPP

Yes. Take a look at volume 1 of the POSA series--i.e., Pattern-Oriented
Software Architecture: A System of Patterns by Frank Buschmann et al.

The GoF book does not go into full detail on some of the described
patterns. I, for example, kinda struggled in understanding the real
meaning of the bridge pattern.
This book did support my understanding profoundly:

Shalloway, A., Trott, J. R., Design Patterns Explained. A New
Perspective on Object Oriented Design, Addison-Wesley, 2001.

However, it does not add new patterns to the GoF repertory and does
not even cover all of those, but it explains some patterns in greater
depth. I did benefit significantly from reading it second to the GoF
book.

Regards,
Malte
