{This group has been inactive for a long time now but we have a new moderator and I expect things to be different from here on - old moderator (20th June, 2007)}

Hyderabad's very own patterns study group; here we will discourse Design patterns (GoF patterns), .NET patterns (and practices) and J2EE patterns ( Application Programming modals).

This group will try to cover 1-2 patterns every week, as we analyze a particular pattern we could discusses where it has been using in our own applications and also we will try to identify instances where it has been used in third party API like Java API or frameworks, standard template library and so on.

Code can be in C# / C++ / Java and with UML.

Patterns which are going to be covered are as fallows:

1)Design patterns (GoF)
a.Creational
b.Structural
c.Behavioral

2). NET Patterns
a.Patterns for Building Enterprise Solutions
b.Organizing Patterns
c.Web Presentation Patterns
d.Deployment Patterns
e.Distributed Systems Patterns
f.Performance and Reliability Patterns

3)J2EE Patterns
a.Presentation Tier
b.Integration Tier
c.Business Tier

We will also have monthly meetings or seminars where Hyderabad's well known technocrats or Software Architects will present their take on different Patterns.
