+ | This article describes the author's progress from casual observer to expert in design patterns through learning and using real-world architectural patterns. The author start by stating that he used to dismiss refactorings and design patterns as "nothing that you could not discover yourself". Then, while renovating/expanding his house, he started studying Alexander's patterns and "became tremendously interested in [Alexander's work]". He realised that the patterns "do not mandate a particular style, nor include superfluous decorations" and they are an "approach [to] design" with "good solutions [...] that wouldn't constraint [the] implementation unnecessarily". Moreover, the patterns "give [...] a vocabulary to talk about how things are constructed". |
