Book Vote from studygroup, a weblog by George Girton

Last night, another rollicking good time was had by all. This was not too surprising considering the main topic under discussion: Offline Concurrent Locking Patterns in the context of Enterprise Application Architecture. A good bit of time was spent discussing garbage collection, always a fun topic.

Topics of discussion also included the Literate Outline Editor (LEO), an scalable thread-free architecture known as the Staged Event-Driven Architecture (SEDA), and a radically simple yet elegant version-control system involving patches, known as DARCS

After we finish with Enterprise Architecture, we're taking up Problem Frames [buy at amazon] . by Michael Jackson. Note, this is not to be confused with Michael Jackson, the author of Michael Jackson's Great Beer Guide which no doubt is worth serious examination.

I happily ordered the former, and noted that the Amazon in-stock number decreased by one, from five to four. Better get on it, study group compatriots, before they're all sold out!
