A Pragmatic Programmer and general dabbler, not to be confused with Dave Thomas, founder of OTI.
Andrew Hunt and I recently published a set of development patterns in The Pragmatic Programmer [ISBN:0-201-61622-X]. We're slowly adding some of these to Wiki - there's an index in Pragmatic Programmer.
I'm currently playing with ways of using the Ruby Language as a prototyping and specification language. Our book, Programming Ruby [ISBN:0-201-71089-7] was released at OOPSLA 2000.
David, Thanks for your beautiful contribution on David Thomas On The Benefits Of Dynamic Typing.
I'm a Common Lisp programmer, and I agree with you totally, but I'm beginning to think that this schism is mostly a matter of personality. I can't stand manifest typing, but know and respect many excellent engineers who think it's a Good Thing. Go figure. -- Alain Picard
Kudos on your two excellent books with Andrew Hunt! -- Rob Harwood
