Gang Of Four Patterns

Some days I find myself really believing that Gang Of Four patterns describe about 90% of all domain-model-related software design tasks out there. On our last design meeting I only had to name the applicable patterns, and that about did it: "Huh, this can be done with a Visitor", or "Sounds like an ordinary Composite to me"... That is not to say I'm good, but rather to reiterate what this guy told me once: "Everything has already been written".

("Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" was one of the first books I've read on the subject, years ago, and it's a really good read.)
