Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software

This is the classic software design patterns book.
Much of this material is assumed knowledge in many development shops so a understanding of this book is very valuable. However, there seems to be a design pattern mania and some developers take the information in this book a bit too literally and assume these patterns are inflexible. The patterns themselves are of value but the bigger take away from this book is how to solve problems with object oriented languages. This is an excellent resource for developers looking to familiarize themselves with common design techniques.
This book verges on being a reference. For more of a guide, check out "Head First Design Patterns" (see my review).
