title: Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
body: <p>Before diving into the book Design Patterns (the gang of four) I wanted to ask a general question...</p>
  
  <p>The Introduction to this book mentions that it will use C++ for primary code examples, have any of you Java experts read this book, and will I easily be able to relate, and even more importantly, implement the design patterns in Java?</p>
  
  <p>I know this is a somewhat vague question, but I do not want to waste any of my time if this book really is geared more towards the C++ programmer. </p>
  
  <p>I look forward to your opinions!</p>
