[osflash] Share the knowledge: Books

[Johan Lopes]

Yes, "Head First Design ..." is a great book - perhaps at times a bit
too wacky for my taste but it does the job. I would also recommend the
GoF (Gang of Four) "Design Patterns, Elements of Reusable
Object-Oriented ...".

Buy them together, they really complement each other!

<-- I know, GoF has been recommended millions of times before on this list.
