AntiPatterns

Recently, I am reading a book called "Bitter Java" by Bruce A. Tate. Personally, I have only programmed in Java in Uni. So I'm not that good in it. But the thing I'm interested is its discription on AntiPatterns.

The book is not about Java, but AntiPatterns that author discovered during his Java consulting life. It is very interesting. I actually found a few antipattern I made already. Although he is talking about very idealistic situation where we have the time to develop a 'perfect' solution. I, however, find it a very enjoyable read and it reminds me of the things I did wrong so that I will not do it again.

I'm sure there is heaps of antipatterns or design patterns experts out there. But this book is great fun to read while still very educational.

My first blog

This is my first blog. I haven't really thought what to put here yet.

I have quite strong opinions on software engineering. So I will probably talk about the software topic quite often. Anyway, I'll post more when I find something I want to write about.
