First off - A Huge "Thank-You":
To both of Dave Hoover and Adewale Oshineye, for writing this Jewel-of-a-Book:
"Apprenticeship Patterns - Guidance for the Aspiring Software Craftsman"
I Especially loved the long snaking road set in an emerald green landscape. "A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever"
It was the missing view of the jig-saw puzzle.A birds eye-view of a completed jig-saw puzzle.
The beauty of it - everything fitting in perfectly.
I'd been regularly using some of the patterns for as long as I can remember. Study The Classics and quite a few others. But somewhere there was a gnawing thought - That I was missing something.
It's been a long and wearying quest - "There's gotta be a better way".
Until I found this book:
"Apprenticeship Patterns - Guidance for the Aspiring Software Craftsman"
It was like an Emerald Oasis emerging from the burning sands (almost seemed like a mirage at first)
