description:

Often called the Gang of Four book, Design Patterns catalogues reusable solutions for object-oriented systems. Each pattern outlines intent, structure, and trade-offs so teams can spot when the guidance helps and when it adds unnecessary complexity. Despite its age, the catalogue remains a foundational reference for developers who need shared language around extensibility and maintainability.
