10-6I will say very little about this. It is much cheaper and orders of
magnitude lighter than the printed version. It contains substantially the
same material. On the other hand it is much harder to look material up. As
I thought that a primary characteristic of design patterns was that they
were not cut and paste recipes, I can think of little real reason for this
product. Still it means that I can quote large chunks of Design Patterns
from my laptop - it will impress all those that think I do so from memory.
Most impressive is to have a paper copy with you as well and say something
to the effect 'I think that you will find on page...' but perhaps you would
like to check because my memory is deteriorating with the onset of old
age.
