The Gang of Four's "Design Patterns" is a great book, and a very
practical one. It's _strongly_ oriented to C++ however (to write
a GREAT, practical book on design patterns I think you do have to
strongly orient to one "target" programming language).

Yes, we do. Practice underlies theory, and getting some practice
before delving into the theory is an excellent idea.
