I'm loving this, more experts to talk to about refactoring even though some of the time I will be bending the conversion toward the PRO's and cons of procedural programming, but hay , the more I talk the more I learn, I hope I am not too much of a pain.

BTW Why would we talk about procedural programming? I understand that if you are writing your persistence code you will be using procedural programming but if you leave that alone, Whats the point?

Hi all -
If you don't mind, can you put "Head First Design Patterns:" in front of your questions - I know some people are. It really helps us pick out which questions are for us!

Thank you,

Elisabeth
