We haven't yet settled on a new book to discuss, so I suggest we postpone our meeting to next week, unless we get some responses to the contrary. The books...
I will not be able to make it tonight so I am totally for not having the meeting tonight for purely selfish reasons! I am not too sure about "Refactoring by...
I'd love to look at AOP, but I think it might be difficult to really get into it unless we have some real-life experience with it, otherwise there'd be a good...
I haven't participated in the group for a while, but I figured I'd chime in. My first preference is for "Enterprise Integration Patterns". I (possibly amongst...
Hi everyone - I haven't ever attended a meeting, but I have been waiting for the group to start a new book before I try to attend (it had better really be...
Ken, Thanks for your input. So far I think we're evenly split between the 2 books. I suggest we start with Martin and eliminate things that we've already...
just to add a little emphasis... I just took a look at the table of contents of: Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices by Robert...
I'm also interested in adding a concurrency patterns discussion to the list of the next topics. So, if people would like to buy the Martin book, let's make...
Just ordered the book and became poorer by $40. For those who want to buy the book, there are some copies in half.com for $10 - $15 (after postal charges) less...
"... Another thing to think about for some time later, though it's maybe a bit esoteric, is a book about concurrency patterns. Java 1.5 has a bunch of new...
The NYJavaSIG presentation is available as a PowerPoint presentation at http://javasig.client.tagonline.com/Archive/lectures/presentations.html. ... Chris...
Chris, While concurrency primitives in Java are interesting. However, once you start organizing meetings around one parrticular language, you ae likely to...
I was just providing information in response to "Java 1.5 has a bunch of new concurrency primitives that look interesting." I'm not proposing a book for DPSG. ...
I agree that in general we should try to be broad - however, thanks very much to Chris for his interesting links. I myself haven't read POSA2, which has...
Chris, I'd registered for that NYJavaSIG mtg., but, at the last minute, I had to stay late; so, I missed it. Regarding language-dependency in the study of...
POSA2 - "Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects" - would be a good choice. Half the book is devoted to synchronization and concurrency patterns, the...
By the way, in light of our recent discussion of DDD and some of the discussions that have been going on over at the yahoo ddd group, here's an article y'all...
Just a reminder that tomorrow (Wed) we're starting the Agile Software Development (Robert C. Martin) book. I think we should be able to cover up to and...
Maybe we can talk about that fowler article i sent around last week, and use that as a jumping off point for discussion. If people don't have the book yet....
I got mine Monday. I spent the extra bucks for one-business-day shipping (ordered it Friday). I haven't read much of it yet, but its case-study format looks...
