🧵 2/n i'd like to recommend a few books:

👉 several options for "#PHP Design Patterns", by now (not bothering to ID my exact specimen - it's light-green-ish)

👉 of course, the GOF-Book, "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" - a well-known classic - "GOF" means Gang of Four; Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides - kinda famous.

My point is, there are well-known / well-documented #DesignPatterns in #IT / #Computer #Programming.

Don't let an INFLUENCER yuck your yum! 🤬😉

@screwlisp @kentpitman The other thing is, the actual GoF DP book, is in C++ & Smalltalk. It addressed problems they'd found in those languages. Immediately it got converted to Java, & several of the problems just didn't exist, but Java has its own weird tangled paths you need to do some architecture around, & the first conversions didn't go near those.

Here's their 15-years-later article:

…
Not many people got the point that you should be finding your own cut-corner paths, watch how people use a thing, see the thing you do over & over, codify that in documents or architecture.

Design Patterns became a bible, not a workbook.

It's still a really good workbook, if you know "don't copy these, learn how we made them", but 99% of coders weren't learning anything, then or now.
