Apprenticeship Patterns

I was randomly checking the titles available from Safari’s web site when I found Apprenticeship Patterns by Dave Hoover and Adewale Oshineye. The book presents several patterns to improve your learning experience as a software developer apprentice.

Evaluating how you you learn is key to excel and achieve mastery in any form of art. Yes, I’m including software in the art category.

A good example to follow are musicians as they have in their curriculum a solid base on the matter. They learn not only how to play but how to study and practice. They have method.

Aprenticeship Patterns is a good book and the subject is fascinating. Probably most of the patterns are already part of your daily schedule, but reading the book is still a good opportunity to reflect on the process to hone in on your skills.
