The first conference on Pattern Languages of Program Design (PLoP)
was a watershed event that gave a public voice to software design pattern
movement. Seventy software professionals from around the world worked
together to capture and refine software experience that exemplifies the
elusive quality called "good design." This volume is the result of that
work - a broad compendium of this new genre of software literature.
Patterns are a literary form that take inspiration from literate programming,
from a design movement of the same name in contemporary architecture, and
from the practices common to the ageless literature of any culture. The
goal of pattern literature is to help programmers resolve the common
difficult problems encountered in design and programming. Spanning
disciplines as broad as client/server programming, distributed processing,
organizational design, software reuse, and human interface design, this
volume encodes design expertise that too often remains locked in the minds
of expert architects. By capturing these expert practices as problem-solution
pairs supported with a discussion of the forces that shape alternative
solution choices, and rationales that clarify the architects' intents, these
patterns convey the essence of great software design.
