35条patterns，可以放在案头
2010-09-30
对于像我这样的新手，这本书是很好的。仿佛是IT职业上CSAPP，给了一个整体的概念；同时还启发我去实实在在得做一些事情，比如完成一些小项目，参与用户小组，寻找导师，等等。换做是之前懵懵懂懂的时候，心里虽说也知道这些事情对自己成长有好处，可是动力却不大。但是现在，2位大师宏亮的声音：These are must-does! 那好，打起精神来，开始成长吧。
看了一眼亚马逊上的书评，有好有坏。好的就不说了，那条1星的很有趣。他的观点是，书中很多的patterns只不过是common sense罢了，用个花哨的词(buzzword)包装起来，其实没有太多意思。
而这篇评论下方的回复说也很在理：...the word craftsman（即评论所说的buzzword） is a constant reminder to continue growing and learn from experience in your environment as opposed to simply accepting theoretical ideas without out-of-the-box experience. 既然都那么正式地列了出来了，那就不要轻易抛在脑后了。
对于我来说，我不会去介意buzzword。Craftsmanship永远不是别人告诉你，你就能明白的。在达成craftsmanship之前，我需要将这些patterns放在心中。而我的cache很小，只能逻辑清晰得把那些好的建议列出来，然后时常地拿出来提醒自己要走的路还很长。
