Answer 1

Check out the "Further Reading" section.

Answer 2

All books contains examples and such, but I would suggest that you do not look for problems for which you can apply design patterns, as that by itself is considered an "anti-pattern" and only results in over-engineered programs.

That is, apply design patterns only after careful consideration!

Answer 3

Web reference: wikipedia is not.. bad?

for some instant gratification try this

for light on the pot reading, head first design patterns. is cute and whimsical.
