Book review - c# 3.0 Design patterns

I recently got my hands on a copy of   C# 3.0 Design patterns by Judith Bishop.

While I'm no stranger to design patterns, I tried to read this book as someone with little or no exposure to design patterns save for the occasional factory or singleton.
[the book itself states it's target audience as " programmers who know how to program in C# 1.0 or Java 1.4 and who would like to move on to the more modern features of the latest language "]

The biggest upside to this book is that it offers very concise but easily understandable examples of the implementation of the pattern, with c# 3.0 syntax to boot! 

This makes it tremendously valuable to not only the "beginner" in design patterns, but also to those who have more experience using patterns, for it allows you to check your own implementation of a pattern to the one proposed in the book.

The biggest downside to the book is that it basically a rehash of everything the GOF described. 
As such it doesn't contain any of the "newer" design patterns as IOC and DI. 

All in all, this is a good buy if you're trying to learn more about design patterns, albeit a bit expensive one..
