You should lose your anti-engineering bias just because of your anti-Java/C++ bias. Design patterns have nothing whatsoever to do with Java and C++, and if you ignore them, you ignore solutions to problems that plague every developer. Design patterns are fundamental to everything we do, even if we don't know it. That's not to say that they will somehow solve all your problems, but a responsible developer should learn about as many problem-solving techniques as possible. Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now. :-) === Subject: Re: RFC: mod_perl advocacy project resurrection (and a From: Gunther Birznieks <gunther@extropia.com> Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2000 09:07:55 +0800 I would agree. If you want to see design patterns in practical action with relation to mod_perl.. go to http://www.extropia.com/ExtropiaObjects/ and skim through Chapters 10 (App Architecture) and on (on the individual app toolkit components). Each one contains a sidebar on how design patterns affected the design of our application toolkit for CGI and mod_perl. ===
