Loved this article.

Hey can you suggest me a book on design patterns.

For me, the canonical reference "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" continues to be the best book. But, it may be a bit dense for inexperienced developers. If that's your case, I suggest you read "Head-First Design Patterns" first. This book is more introductory and will help you understand the other book better.

You may also want to have a look at:

Thank You, I'll read both of the books. [Mario Cervera](https://hashnode.com/@macerub)
