[OT] RE: DAO or ... ?

[micael <ca...@harbornet.com>]

Troy,

I think it is incredible that you can go that far in your computer 
engineering education without even "touching on" patterns.  I was involved 
in some discussions with a publisher regarding putting out a 
beginning/intermediate Java textbook that would teach OO with patterns from 
day one, but I am too busy.  Someone should do that.  Someone should also 
include the idea of component programming just about as early, in my opinion.
