A colleague recommended what appears to be a wonderful podcast for people interested in building software well. IEEE Software’s On Architecture. It’s authored by Grady Booch (one of the heavyweights in the Object Oriented Programming/Design world), the podcasts are short and sweet (typically less than 10minutes) and it’s even got a bit of a pedigree (being affiliated with the IEEE and all).
After listening to a few of the podcasts I was struck with a desire to revisit basic heuristics of the trade. The classic work on design patterns was written by a group of authors colloquially known as the Gang of Four. It’s an excellent reference but it isn’t exactly compact.
I stumbled onto a Design Patterns “cheat sheet”. It’s even color coded by pattern type! (structural vs behavioral vs creational). Kudos to Jason S. McDonald for his handiwork.
