Design Patterns in the JDK

javacodegeeks.com

Seems very interesting to inexperienced programmers such as myself.

Does anyone know of a similar collection of implementations of architectural patterns?

check out the GoF book

also, people have put together various collections of server side or 'enterprise' patterns. And the various 'pet store' implementations will be sprinkled liberally with them

Oh dear God, that's the last thing he should do. That book is so incredibly dull. It makes Death Valley look like a lush rain forest.

Might I suggest Head First Design Patterns [1] as a good introductory alternative that won't sap his will to live.

Thank you to both of you. I own and have read both - I agree they are excellent. My question was however not concerning design patterns, but architectural patterns, such as MVC, Blackboard or a layering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_pattern

I found the collection of concrete examples/applications of design patterns interesting, and wondered if anyone knew of a similar collection of examples/application of common architectural patterns.
