There's plenty of teaching going on but people have stopped listening to people who know what they are talking about and have started listening to all the trendy marketing out there.
Two awesome places to learn shit:
http://martinfowler.com/bliki/ http://martinfowler.com/bliki/
http://www.eaipatterns.com/ http://www.eaipatterns.com/
Both of those are available as books (EIP + PoEAA). Buy them, read them, weep.
Yes they are C# and Java but that's where most of the formalisms were developed (for a reason!).
- stcredzero 14y agoFormalisms and learning materials available, but not for major languages that could benefit greatly from them.
- gouranga 14y agoPerhaps the wrong choice of language is made then?
- stcredzero 14y agoNo, I'm pointing out things that were wrong back in the late 1990's and early 2000's are again wrong just for different languages. It's an opportunity, in other words.
- gouranga 14y agoI don't understand. What in particular was wrong? We had formalised design patterns and architectures back then. A large portion of any industry ignores established best practices and makes a mess every generation.
- stcredzero 14y agoWe had formalised design patterns and architectures back then. Yes, and many of them described in books in particular languages. Not every language community that could have benefitted had the right book written using their language. Like I said, a recurring condition and an opportunity.
- gouranga 14y agoThe books describe portable concepts with examples in the languages of the time. Much as SICP is applicable to a lot of languages that aren't scheme.
