To me this seems like an interesting way to learn about design patterns (watch the video). I wonder if it also works when I hit an ivory-tower architect with POEAA or DDD? I’ll keep you posted.
PS: I’m really looking forward to the next episode on code reviews and retrospectives.
I wonder if this applies to all computer books. If so I should be a expert on the 3.5 framework from beating myself over the head with Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform by Andrew Troelsen (http://www.amazon.com/2008-NET-Platform-Fourth-Windows-Net/dp/1590598849/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209438960&sr=8-1). :-).
From the screencast, they said that it should definitely work with hardcovers. After just being passed out for a couple of hours, I realized that I’m learning too much. Maybe I should just slow down and do some more lightweight stuff 🙂
