I’ve never been a massive book worm, going through school trying to read as little as I could so I could go out and play football, however in the past few months all that has changed, I’m not sure if it’s the Scottish weather or weather i’m just so passionate about what I do that I want to just keep learning.

I recently went to Marbella on holiday, and after nearly getting run over by a Bentley Continental on the first night I decided to spend most of my time reading, I’ve had this book now for a while and only ever got through the first chapter at a half arsed attempt whilst on the train. So I started it again, and I can honestly say I now have a fascination with Design Patterns no matter what language they are for, they bring order to chaos and help bring developers together.
