One common theme I learned when working with Java developers is that there are vast amount of information out there regarding: * Design Patterns (GoF + newer patterns) * OOAD/OOP * Refactoring * TDD, Agile, and XP * "Reusable", "Generalization", "Framework" that Java developers read the topics lightly and apply immediately without taking the time to understand them and when to use them. This doesn't happen much in other programming language communities because I rarely see someone writing design pattern tutorial in Perl. I won't be surprised that we will see these issues again in Ruby...
