You should really publish this into a real book

I've gone through the GOF book, and found it not useful. I've gone through the Head First Design Pattern book but found it a bit outdated and the humour they tried injecting to complicate the examples. 

I find it really useful the examples you guys use, the brevity of the contents, the organization of the design patterns (creational, structural, and behaviour), and the compare/contrast of similar design patterns. 

Excellent, excellent work. 

Thanks,

Thank you for the kind words, Ben! I'm still considering my options regarding publishing the print version of the book, but it's very likely that it'll be published in the future.

Alexander,

I agree about the high quality of the book.  On Amazon, print is more work than a Kindle version and it would allow you to have your name listed in the Authors list.  You and the book would have much more visibility

I hesitated for months buying this excellent book because I could not get a read on details that would be listed if it were on Amazon.com.

Have you looked into self publishing? I put something up on amazon createspace years ago. It's now defunct, and became KDP (Kindel Direct Publishing), which also does paper copy. The author gets %60, roughly, and they ship a high quality product. https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G201834330
I just read your explanation of state design pattern - a pure gold life saver.

I strongly agree! I'm so excited to find your website. Everything you taught is super beginner friendly unlike a lot of other websites. You really need to publish it into a paperbook! I feel like this should be a must read for every beginner programmer.
