 Before you dive into the material, you should be familiar with various
-software design principles.
+[Software Design Principles](https://java-design-patterns.com/principles/).
 
 All designs should be as simple as possible. You should start with KISS, YAGNI,
 and Do The Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work principles. Complexity and
 patterns should only be introduced when they are needed for practical
 extensibility.

- - Using difficulty tags, `Difficulty-Beginner`, `Difficulty-Intermediate` & `Difficulty-Expert`.
+ - Search for a specific pattern by name. Can't find one? Please report a new pattern [here](https://github.com/iluwatar/java-design-patterns/issues).
+ - Using tags such as `Performance`, `Gang of Four` or `Data access`.
  - Using pattern categories, `Creational`, `Behavioral`, and others.

 Hopefully you find the object oriented solutions presented on this site useful
 in your architectures and have as much fun learning them as we had developing them.
