Resources on Patterns @mprove

A classic book in architecture is A Pattern Language, by Christopher Alexander; – a classic in software design is Design Patterns, by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides.
Patterns and pattern languages have proven to be an excellent way to capture design and implementation expertise, to describe the design of a software system, and to specify design guidelines. Over the past decade, the use of patterns and pattern languages has grown significantly, and a community of practice for writing patterns has matured with conferences, writers' workshops, shepherding, and a series of books. – Richard P. Gabriel

This page is a lose collection of web references into the vast field of patterns. At least ist was in 2004. My desperate wish for web authors would be to follow a bit more the pattern "keep it up and don’t mess around with the URLs". Thus, I had to delete many links because the pages are no longer available. In addition, the field has evolved even futher. I hope that the current state of this page is still useful. /mprove, Sep 2015
