The following is part of the foreword by Grady Booch:

"You hold before you in this book the most complete, the most comprehensive, the most interesting study of patterns and pattern languages that I’ve ever seen. Richard has carried out some incredible research into the history, the evolution, and the use of design and architectural patterns in the world of computing. His journey through this domain is not just a dull collection of facts and references, but he brings to life the very human and technical forces that shaped and continue to shape the field.

This is a book that I’ve enjoyed, a work that will hold a prominent place on my bookshelf.

Bravo, Richard.

ACM, IEEE, and IBM Fellow"
