Patterns

What began as design patterns has grown into a diverse movement, including antipatterns, architectural patterns, organisational patterns etc. This page is a starting point for the various families of patterns.

• Design patterns
• Architectural patterns
• Analysis patterns
• Antipatterns

My attempt at rationalising patterns can be summed up in the following (very simplistic) diagram. Do people agree? Comments??? --Matthew Harward 09:05, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, just to note, this is not meant to imply that one MUST use patterns to produce good code, only that considering patterns will probably produce a better end result.

If you haven't heard of Amelioration Patterns before, look them up on Ward's wiki.
