I used to run a class at a consulting firm I worked for a few years back. It's pretty dry stuff, but when you use the tools associated with the original Gamma, et. al. book they become more reference material than front-to-back reading. Have you picked up Fowlers book yet (Patterns of Enterprise App Architecture)? Good stuff there. I was looking at that Head First Design Patterns book last week at a bookstore. The cover made me go 'huh?' and I put it back. I'll be interested to hear more about the book if you blog about it. Hi Ben,

Joshua Kerievsky started one here in New York City and the collaborative study helped me learn the patterns in great depth. If there isn't a study group in your area, perhaps setup one where you work. I’d suggest joining a study group of some sort.
