>how to go about digesting these design patterns
I've had good luck translating them into the language I work in every day. Started with mediator. If you do any work with forms you can use mediator in every single one. The second most useful pattern, for me, has been strategy.
After you write a couple and use one or two you might try playing. Every once in a while we do an "objects for fun" project at work. Make a couple of objects and think up something simple to get them to do that gets them talking to one another. This has been productive for the other guys in the office new to oop.
Before you know it, you'll start seeing hints of possibilities and you'll go from a project to the pattern books to see if there's one that applies. It's like the first few months of pregnancy. Most things are the same but something is changing. Before you know it, you're struggling to get the kids in bed before 8pm.

I'm a newbie to this world of design patterns. I like OO concepts and
have a strong desire to take a dip in the world of design patterns.
I'm preparing for IBM test486 for UML and thinking of learning more
about patterns, as they are referred to at many places as part of the
exam preparation. I can learn the patterns in a context instead of
trying to look at them standalone. My feeling is that we can better
understand the patterns if we look at the problem in a context where
they are trying to provide the solution. Any suggestions from people
as to how to go about digesting these design patterns are hightly
appreciated.
Regards,
Jayadev.
