Thanks Jiri, I had not seen that site. I had assumed the book covered all of the patterns I was going to need but in hindsight that was silly. The visitor pattern seems very similar to adapter however. I guess I've got a lot of learning to do. I appreciate the notion of not over engineering but until I understand them fluently I intend to implement patterns where possible no matter how trite.
