Re^2: Perl Factory Method Pattern?

in thread Perl Factory Method Pattern?

I think you misunderstood MJD's presentation (which is quite common, as he expresses at the addition he made to the end of the talk on the web).

MJD is not saying Design Patterns are good or bad. He's saying there is a conflict of terminology, and we may be missing out on some really useful stuff because of it.

I understood. "Design Patterns" in the C++ sense is what this post is pretty much about, not "Design Patterns" in the architectural sense. His point about such things being inhuman (first several slides) were right... Agreed, they have value, but they have value in the common terminology sense, i.e. knowing what a Factory is, rather than having the template to implement a Factory.	[reply]
