Applying UML and Patterns: An Introduction to Object-Oriented ...

To my embarassment I learn that there is a new Edition of Craig Larman's book, the last edition of which I have owned and struggled with for years, not making much progress, I struggle to grasp (pun partly intended) patterns and the particularly the groups of patterns such as GRASP which are covered in the book, although I keep getting pointed back at it by blog references, I came across mention of this time via Moserware: What Does It Take To Become A Grandmaster Developer? and a link to David Hayden's site GRASP - A Methodical Approach to Basic Object-Oriented Design ...- here is the time to pay tribute to D. Hayden, how does he do it, I know in person other programmers with young families who somehow manage to keep on top of all this techie stuff and still have time to have a normal human life...it's beyond me, you make the time when the situation demands it I suppose
