G'day all.
Quoting Graham Klyne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Me neither. Though I have short reading list.
First off, this series of articles by Ken Arnold. They are a bit Java- centric, but it's all good:
http://www.artima.com/intv/perfect.html http://www.artima.com/intv/taste.html http://www.artima.com/intv/distrib.html http://www.artima.com/intv/sway.html http://www.artima.com/intv/decouple.html http://www.artima.com/intv/issues.html
Looks interesting. Thanks.
Some of the modern C++ books like "Modern C++ Design" and "Generative Programming" are worth a skim in lieu of a decent book on how to deal with true parametric polymorphism and typeclasses.
In a similar vein, I think Martin Fowler's book on refactoring has some interesting insights.
