Okay nerds. I’m hoping for recommendations because search results are all getting so murky with AI injections.

I am not a software developer, but I’m having to get more into it for the purpose of automation and sysadmin tasks. Presently I am focused on bash, python, a bit of PowerShell and CaC/IaC like Ansible, kubernetes etc.

Please recommend some books that are focused on software design patterns and principles that would be relevant for my use case.

Thank you!

Have you heard of the observer pattern?

The observer design pattern is one of the patterns we're often exposed to early on in programming.

This pattern allows observers to observe observables.
(Clear as mud, right?)

Said another way, the different components of your system can listen for notifications, changes, and events by following this pattern!
