I got a deeper learning about the Bridge pattern yesterday. The book Software Architecture Design Patterns in Java has a pretty good explanation on the subject. It’s one that does not just explain what the GoF book does. They have an example of a Logger with with different type of loggers & different types of messages. To be honest, these are all twisted. Why does a log message concern itself with logging? Instead, it can ask the Logger to log it. Would have been much simpler and conforming to SRP.
I am also getting back to basics. I am reading my old books on refactoring. Refactoring to Patterns is now shining much better than before. I actually enjoy reading tips and suggestions from the author. He actually has good examples that are worth reading.
I need to be more under control with my kids. They’re abusing my patience but I’m also losing it. I want to be strict but I need to find ways to do it.
