Abstract
Normally a book of this sort would start with a quote from Christopher Alexander, the architect (of buildings) who came up with the notion of a design pattern. I’ve found that though Alexander is a brilliant man who writes wonderful books, his prose can be a bit opaque at times, so I’ll skip the mandatory quote. His ideas launched the entire design-pattern movement, however.
