Design pattern framework from dofactory

Many of the patterns, such as the Head First Patterns, are part of a book or books. So does the dofactory version include the books? If not then you are missing a lot without the books.

Some of the patterns and other code are free but there are books about them. If the books are not included then it is better to get the books. If you want something very easy to get then use your credit card to get the software that you are asking about but note that in order to use it you will still need to invest a lot of time so if you invest a little time now to determine what you will eally use then you will likely get something better inthe long run. It is my belief that people use software they have not paid for and the buy books that they do not use. I think you should consider the dofactory software as books that you are likely to put on a shelf and never read.
