A Learning Guide To Design Patterns
The Industrial Logic Learning Guide To Design Patterns has been written for those who want to learn and use design patterns, rather than just read about them. It offers a suggested navigation through the GOF design patterns catalog. The Learning Guide inspires the sequence and discussion of the Twin Cities Patterns Group, which meets following the OTUG meeting.

Stop Over-Engineering!
An article by Joshua Kerievsky at Industrial Logic and published in Software Development magazine. "Patterns are a cornerstone of object-oriented design, while test-first programming and merciless refactoring are cornerstones of evolutionary design. To stop over- or under-engineering, balance these practices and evolve only what you need."
