Guests: Linda Rising, Joe Yoder, and Bob Hanmer
Host: Daniel Steinberg

When the seminal book Design Patterns made its public debut
at ooPSLA 1994, the world of
software developers changed forever. Soon everyone wanted
to learn patterns and, even better, write patterns -- to
document their knowledge of what software to build, and how.

That same year, a new sort of conference debuted as well,
Pattern Languages of Programs, and in 2007, PLoP continues
to provide an opportunity for pattern writers to improve
their work and form communities with other software
developers.

The patterns community has always had a close relationship
with ooPSLA, culminating in the
co-location of PLoP 2006 with ooPSLA
in Portland. This year PLoP returns to Allerton Park, but
ooPSLA again offers folks a touch
of PLoP in the form of two workshops, a Pattern Writing
Bootcamp and a Writers Workshops for Papers in Software
Development.

Listen to this podcast to hear Daniel Steinberg of
DimSumThinking chat with workshop organizers Linda Rising,
Bob Hanmer, and Joe Yoder about patterns, pattern writing,
and the excitement of Mini-PLoP at
ooPSLA.
