Design patterns

Daniel Mendler

3/16/2008 12:25:00 PM

Hi,

are there some good tutorials or references about design patterns in
ruby, which talk about mixins etc? I would really appreciate one because
ruby is quite different from other languages (and more flexible)
concerning oop.

I found a lot of modules using nested submodules like ClassMethods and
InstanceMethods. Is there a kind of ruby standard for such things?

+1 for this book (and I agree with the blog review). A great read and
quite different approach to most other books on Ruby.

The only time I found myself disagreeing with the book's author was
regarding the suggested solution on to how to test the Singleton pattern.


Best regards,

Sorry if I didn't make that clear. I linked to my review in the hope
that it would provide more detail about what was in the book.

I also enjoyed the book, I've reviewed it too, I also interviewed
Russ and talked a bit about it:

Yeah, the book is okay, but it doesn't have all the patterns of the
GOF book, and some of the Ruby is really irksome... and sometimes it's
just wrong!

Can you point out which pattern in the book is wrong with Ruby? I never
read the GOF book. This is the first Design Pattern book I read, I
really want to know which pattern seems wrong. For me, everything look
nice and it is a good book for me.

From the horse's mouth...

I'm going out to buy it today, so I hope it isn't as bad as Julian
suggests. I don't have a problem if some of the code doesn't work
perfectly, since I distrust most of the code I look at anyway :-)
