Dear all,
I have some base knowledge about ruby on rails. Is there some
perfect
book about design pattern? Thanks

Well … I don’t know if it’s perfect, but I highly recommend Martin
Fowler’s “Refactoring”.

No.

Thanks

Hey, no problem.

:slight_smile:

Seriously, patterns are often language-specific. the GoF book is
typically cited, but patterns for Java/C++ do not always apply in Ruby.

There is (to my knowledge) no Patterns for Ruby book (though it would
not surprise me if someone is signing a publishing contract at this very
moment), but a Smalltalk patterns book might help.

Russ Olsen’s “Design Patterns in Ruby” is on it’s way :

I can’t say I agree here. Patterns are just that; patterns. How they
manifest themselves within different languages might differ, but the
intent is still the same. Take the AbstractFactory pattern for
example – you get that one for free in Ruby. There’s already the
Observer pattern in the core, too.

IMO, the GOF book is all you need, although note:

As well as numerous (sporadic, more like) references to do with
patterns on the C2 wiki:

I’m really looking forward to this one. In addition, there are two
pdf’s (also from AW) that might be interesting:
Rails Refactoring to Resources
Rubyisms in Rails

both of these are available either as a pdf or in their
Professional Ruby Collection

Actually, I got the book named “GOF patterns in ruby”. It may be the
answer
of my question.
