PatternShare is a new computer software design pattern web resource, hosted by Microsoft, at http://patternshare.org. (note - dead since at least June 2007).
The motive appears to be:
- Bring together pattern summaries from many authors.
- Provide a platform for discussion and further exploration of the interconnections between them.
Much of the work was led by Ward Cunningham, of Microsoft.
PatternShare is a wiki.
Interesting facts
- It is a Design Pattern metabase
- Several orthogonal dimensions of categories
- Automatic interlinking, through standard templates that embody its structural inferences
- Multiple contributing websites
[edit]
In 2007 Pattern Share was taken offline. Reports indicate that the Patterns and Practices team at Microsoft felt that time was better spent integrating P&P principles into re-usable code libraries, as opposed to devoting resources to direct developer education.[1]
