Anyone around the Brighton UK Area that
would like to have a chat about such things? Maybe stretch as far as London for a bigger
group. I would really like to get to talk to some like minded flash
programmers.

Hey Don,
Thanks for forwarding that link!
I just wanted to add to that - if a person is serious about learning design
patterns, it *really* helps to get around a small group of other folks and
discuss each pattern in detail - especially in how it relates to ActionScript
development. Ali Mills and I worked with a group of Bay Area developers over
the past year and went through the Gang of Four book twice. I thought that I
had a pretty good comprehension before the study group, but as it turned out -
I was wrong! Even after reviewing each pattern every week, we realized that it
would be valuable to do them all again.
Joshua Kerievsky (The author of Refactoring to Patterns) has a really great
site devoted to helping people organize just such a meeting:

I can't wait until more flash developers get into Patterns, Test-Driven
Development and agile processes!
BTW - Don't forget to check out the newly-released AsUnit XUL UI and AsUnit 3.0
for ActionScript 3!
Thanks,
Luke Bayes
