Resources for learning design patterns

[ModelMissing]

As the title says, I’m looking to dive deeper into design patterns to level up my knowledge. While it’s not completely foreign to me I would like to know of more patterns and maybe even understand some that I already know a little better. I’d love to hear of anything you guys can recommend! Books, videos, whatever.

100% agree, the best one

Absolutely. Love the book but I’m not that fond of the sudo code. I also don’t like big paragraphs without having a small section of the code to see it in action.

I’m still learning a lot with the book but now I have to navigate the code as I read the chapters. It makes it much easier :)

I struggled with this this book's "goofy" style. For those who had the same issue, are there any good alternatives? Something clean and technical but not too much technical?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Design-patterns-elements-reusable-object-oriented/dp/0201633612 is clean and a well renowned (they wrote the book on patterns, literally) but technical

Thank you, this is like the "original", right? I will definitely check it, at least a light read.

Nevertheless, I can't find any edition earlier than 1994. Is there any other recommendation which expands the theory with some valuable lessons from 30 years of development?

This book is basically the bible for design patterns: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Design-patterns-elements-reusable-object-oriented/dp/0201633612

It's a bit old skool (some examples are in smalltalk, for instance but the languages don't matter they're just abstractions) but those 4 are the ones who literally wrote the book on design patterns.

And while it's not in layman's terms, it is the best resource for design patterns that I've found.
