Linking other patterns with Observer

Hi all

Right up front, Im very green with design patterns. That said :)

I think I have a good grasp of the observer pattern. I wanted some quick thoughts on other design (or anti) patterns that you may also use with observer to avoid specific side effects, implement a M:M rel with subject/observers, manage cyclic dependencies etc.... from here I will extend my research but I didnt want to spend hours only to find specific patterns (when used in concert, present many other side effects).

Again, I am not after complete solutions, but pointers for my later research and trial as I become more confortable with Java.

Cheers

Ck
