Directory of Patterns and Anti-Patterns Resources

Home > Computers > Programming > Methodologies > Patterns and Anti-Patterns

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.
