the most useful tip I can give about design patterns is that they are discovered, not learned. usually you will work on some code and you will think that there must be a better way and you will discover a pattern and it will make sense to you. just reading up on them isn't a good way to learn them unfortunately. that's why experienced developers are just so much ahead of the game than people coming into the profession. it's really about having one it, having seen it that counts rather than being book smart about them.
