next stop: semantic metaverse

Jim Weirich’s talk was about design patterns in Ruby. Overall, it was an informative talk, but I felt that it didn’t add much to my knowledge of design patterns from the Java world. He covered some of the GoF design patterns, and listed their Ruby equivalents (in many cases the equivalent was part of the language itself, or extremely easy to add).

Nevertheless, I am certain that many people found the talk very valuable, because being aware of design patterns is one of the things that makes a good programmer.
