Summary Review

It's a good introduction book to the use of 23 major design patterns in C#. As someone new to this area, I found the book very easy to follow aided by the very practical examples. The author did a good job explaining these patterns in very plain language.

Detailed Comments 

The first part of the book covers the mere basics of Visual Studio .NET, the C# language, object programming concepts and UML diagrams. I feel this section is not necessary since there are abundant books available.

I'd also like to see in future editions a heavy-duty application designed throughout the book using most, if not all of the 23 patterns.
