I understand, and have used, the four mentioned above -- but have a difficult time with design patterns.
Sure, I get the idea that design patterns are concepts/procedures/ideas for how to identify/classify a problem and thereby infer a specific solution, but further than that I'm lost.
As I see it, every problem consist of input, calculation, and presentation. I don't see the need to classify each problem as a specific type and then proceed accordingly.
To me, every problem looks the same, only different. :-) Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
