Hi to Solveig
Why is the book called dating patterns? Does the book talk about dating or patterns?
Why yes, Pradeep, it discussed both dating and patterns! ;>
The book is all about dating patterns:
Interested Listener, one of the simplest and most effective (most effective because it is so rarely used)
Cary Grant Helper, which implements parts of Gentleman 1.0 which call Lady 1.1 through 1.8, legacy code buried deep with women but which is still functional and which greatly enjoys being called.
Encapsulated Big Fat Opening, a way to create a dating sandbox without exposing one's intentions
Half Bad Boy Plus Protocol, a way to compete against the leather-clad idiots or Misunderstood Poets
And 17 more dating patterns, plus three refactorings, a few suggested microarchitectures, and naturally a bibliography and index.
