I am not sure how this book would stand the test if you don’t have experience in programming in an OO language Java, Python , C++ or Smalltalk. It really is about sound design principles in building software with any object-oriented programming language. And as such, it is required reading for almost any full-time programmer.
Design patterns is in a way very hands-on, about deciding what to code where. About deciding which pieces of code go together and which pieces should have absolutely no knowledge of each other.
