Oops! Sorry. The book is 'Design Patterns' by Erich Gamma, et al and the
four authors are known as the Gang of Four in OO circles I believe.
Design Patterns "capture solutions that have developed and evolved over
time". The main theme is to promote CODE REUSE via decoupling of
classes. The book talks about 'message flow' in your app vs. 'data flow'
which makes classes dependent on each other and reduce their REUSE
potential. I am finding it fascinating.
