Deep Dive into Design Patterns

While writing Design Patterns with Delphi, I spent quite some time researching existing literature on design patterns implementation in Delphi, design patterns in other languages, other types of patterns, design principles and so on …

In case you would like to dig deeper than the book takes you, here is my reading list.
