The pattern movement in programming is about discovering repeating patterns in all areas of software development, documenting them in a pattern language and reusing them. Anti-patterns are ones to avoid. This category contains sites about both. Patterns are often discussed in terms of object-oriented languages. FAQs, Help, & Tutorials (4) Journals (9) Reviews (2) 1.
