oh, i was not aware that there is a head first just about desgin patterns, thanks for the heads up.
And Archicture is something that gets more and more important for devs, because it's likely that the code we write is just a part of a complex system of which we don't control every part and understanding communication channels and the reasoning behind the setup of the system allows us to write our part in a way that it works well in the bigger thing and not something others (or worse, we) have to work around later.
That Head First about design patterns actually takes heavy inspiration from the Gang of Four. I haven’t read both (only Head First), but I’d wager you don’t need to read GoF if you’ve read Head First.
Only the writing style… is somewhat cringy.
that is the selling point of the head first books, they all feature bad jokes and other oddities to help you remember what you've read. it works.
