We try to promote joint learning by dividing the effort of studying the wealth of advanced material published about patterns. Each member chooses a topic and presents it to the group in one of the meetings. These presentations are usually accompanied by discussions that advance further learning. We meet about once every other week. Each meeting takes about 2 hours and consists of two sessions.
Further discussion is continued in the group's mailing list, or in private.
To join, please contact me . To learn more about patterns, see The Patterns Home Page . Future Meetings Below are some of the topics and publications we plan to study in the future. Some of the papers are available online from the PLoP96 site , as are the papers from PLoP97 . Terms and usage - pattern, design pattern, pattern language, framework, architecture .
