not sure if this is the right place, but here i go
i'm a
java enthusiast (no pro, just for the fun of it) and i try to read
about good programing focus like
patterns; on the other hand, though i'm alone, xp is a world that seduces me.
I've been told that one should apply patterns because that way code gets better prepared for future (inevitable) change; on the other hand, xp uses very small steps aproach: red, green, refactor.
My doubt: how come xp and using patterns doesnt conflict? how can someone write some simple method,
test it, and so on (xp way) and at the same time be sure patterns are beeing considered/implemented?
Hope i made myself clear enough...
