I do not know a site but I do know a book which is excellent: [http://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Ruby-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0321490452/ref=pd\_bbs\_sr\_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215019949&sr=1-1](http://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Ruby-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0321490452/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215019949&sr=1-1) Hope this helps.

I have to say, I found that book pretty lacking. It the worst design patterns book I ever read. I would call it ‘marginally passable’. ---

Ask the list for help. martin ---
