I am planning to read some design patterns and I took the book on design patterns in C++' by gang of four. However, I am not really some one who reads book and prefers reading slides/watching course lectures and then apply and read the book. I cannot find any course lecture videos on net(yeah, its not that important a course as algo/OS). Any one know any course website, preferably on C++ 
Any Course/Lecture videos on Design Patterns
design patterns;programming practices
Well, it's not a course, but...C++ Programming/Code/Design Patterns looks like a good book to look at. It is a book from Wikibooks (by Wikimedia).If you want a course...Another thing to look at might be Design Patterns Course by Sourcemaking. It has 97 lessons (7 hours) and includes 2 great books in the price. The only major con is that it is currently $49.95. But if you ask me, that's a good price for two books and 7 hours worth of video.Finally...Take a look at the Design Patterns tag on Dimecasts. You might be able to find something there.Finally...Finally...This question has been asked on Stack Overflow. There are some great answers there, so take a look at that too.Hope this helps!
