Rating:  - Very good book
Refactoring written by Martin Fowler is the foundamental book, and this Refactoring to Patterns is higher level talking about refactoring. This is an excellent book about the refactoring.
Rating:  - Good ideas, but needs refactoring
There are a lot of nuggets of wisdom in the book, especially in the pragmatic approach the author takes to refactoring and patterns. He admits that patterns can make code worse, or better, depending on the need and skill of the author. He also provides a number of clear examples. However, the style of the book is like the dull works I had to read in graduate school, unnecessarily littered with citations. He cites Fowler to such an obscene degree that it looks more like academic backslapping. Citations ... Read More
Rating: - The Joy of Clean Up Reaches the Design Level
Clean up (refactoring) is fun. Clean up to the design level (patterns) is stunning. A very pragmatic introduction, down to the code and incredibly helpful. Even strong procrastinators develop an appetite for this often little loved part of our work.
Now what are the prerequisites: You should have read and maybe even handy the landmark book "Refactoring" by Martin Fowler and colleagues. You need a working knowledge of design patterns. You have to actually like real code. Everything else is contained ... Read More
Rating: - Combines Refactoring and Patterns
A master-piece and a must-read art-work. When I was studying on Martin Fowler's Refactoring to make my code more comprehensive and improve its clarification, I see, Martin Fowler's techiques are generalized techniques, I found Joshua Kerievsky's techiques in Refactoring to Patterns are more specific techiques concern of purely Design Patterns. While Design Patterns itself high-level abstracted, it is easy to find concrete examples in Recfactoring to Patterns and that makes programmer easy to understand Design Patterns. ... Read More
Rating: - the best design pattern book
this is definitely the best book about design pattern I have ever read.
but this book is not telling you what a pattern is and how to use this pattern; instead, it shows some inappropriate designed structure and explains what might be the reason of the inappropriate design, then suggests one pattern to help you out. it's an excellent idea to describe a pattern and the samples are interesting.
moreover, the book is paperback, thin, small, easy to carry, what else can u ask for :D
