A white paper on software patterns by Jim Coplien and published by Sigs. This volume covers a lot of ground in documenting the progress and promise of our fledgling community. Cope quotes extensively from a wide variety of published patterns. The reader can expect to come to an understanding about patterns by understanding patterns. Cope expects the reader to make this (somewhat zen) step. He also makes it easy. -- Ward Cunningham
