Looking for Book Recommendations on OOP Design Patterns

I'd recommend looking into the classic 'Design Patterns' book. It's not Java-specific, but it does a fantastic job of explaining the concepts that you can apply to any programming language. Just be aware that it might feel a bit dated as it's been around for a while.

You should check out 'Head First: Design Patterns.' It's great for understanding the core concepts in a fun and engaging way. Also, 'Head First: Object Oriented Analysis and Design' is another solid choice. Both are really approachable for beginners!

I'm a big fan of 'Head First' but I found the original 'Design Patterns' book to be one of the best reads I've ever had. It's comprehensive and has stood the test of time. Just curious, what do others think about the age of the material?
