So, if we had a nice pattern repository wiki, we could write about decorate-sort-undecorate there and link to it... {;D}= -- LionKimbro DateTime(2003-11-21T22:18:39Z)
PortlandPatternRepository? -- JohannesGijsbers
Two thoughts:
I'd like a focused design patterns community.
I'd like a block patterns community.
I think that there is a type of pattern that people use within a procedure.
For an example of a basic one, there is the ForLoop.
But there are also others, like FirstTimeSeperate versus FirstTimeIntegrated.
That is, do you:
...or do you...
Surely, there are advantages to each one, no?
I taught beginning programmers for 2 years. I found that I didn't have words for a lot of things that I was trying to explain to them. Now I think I have the word for it: a "block pattern."
I think a site of block patterns would be interesting, and very beneficial for study by beginners.
DecorateSortUndecorate may be a block pattern. But maybe not- maybe it's an algorithmic pattern. But are they that different?
Speaking of algorithms- we need multiple algorithms wiki. {:)}=
Good talking with you. Feel free to delete whenever you like.
