The same sentiments apply. This is a very easy to read book. It explains the philosophy of pattern based design much better than many later books have managed. Reading it it is obvious why so many Design and Software gurus consider Alexander as a big influence. (  ) ghd-read | Jun 22, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
