A PragmaticProgrammer and general dabbler, not to be confused with DaveThomas, founder of OTI. AndrewHunt and I recently published a set of development patterns in ''ThePragmaticProgrammer'' [ISBN:0-201-61622-X]. We're slowly adding some of these to Wiki - there's an index in PragmaticProgrammer. I'm currently playing with ways of using the RubyLanguage as a prototyping and specification language. Our book, ''ProgrammingRuby'' [ISBN:0-201-71089-7] was released at OOPSLA 2000. ---- David, Thanks for your beautiful contribution on DavidThomasOnTheBenefitsOfDynamicTyping. I'm a CommonLisp 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 GoodThing. Go figure. -- AlainPicard ---- Kudos on your two excellent books with AndrewHunt! -- RobHarwood ---- CategoryHomePage CategoryAuthor
