Head First Design Patterns book now has C# code samples available

Mark McFadden has made the excellent Head First Design Patterns book's code samples available in C# here. He even uses NUnit instead of Console.Writelines. Great job, Mark!

I absolutely loved this book b/c for a long time, I had a lot of trouble *really* understanding many patterns. This book helped out a lot - and the port to C# is great b/c I did a conversion and I can compare how close I got to the target. The nUnit stuff was a nice touch as well. Great post!

Bill - yeah, except the guy just did a straight port (like he didn't use delegates for the Observer pattern, which annoys me). Sorry I missed you at Code Camp!

Darrell, can you provide an example of the Observer pattern with delegates. I am interested. Thanks for the feedback.

Based on a little research I have a project in the download that utilizes a delegate and event declared in the subject that is registered by the observer. This looks more versatile than the implementations of subject and observer interfaces.

The new project is named Observer.CSharp.WeatherData with the NUnit test for the implementation in the ObserverCSharpWeatherDataDisplayFixture.cs file of the DeveloperTest project.

Thanks again for the input!
