Software design pattterns

[alkashif]

Dear members,


As part of a research degree, I am conducting an online survey on the use
of software design patterns within software design projects, especially
when used within the scope of integrating applications (e.g. web services,
EAI etc). The aim is to investigate how use of software design patterns can facilitate software reuse and save time and cost with software development
The study doesn’t assume the use / knowledge of software design patterns as
a pre-requisite for filling the online survey as we are collecting views of
software developers with different background and experience.
Your response would be treated as confidential and the online survey and
results are anonymous (no name, address … etc is required).
All those who completed the survey with valid E-mail address will receive
copy of the aggregated results and any related publications, though giving
E-mail is optional.
The survey is expected to take 5 minutes to complete.
The link to the online survey is at

Many thanks for helping with this study.

Software Design Patterns seem to be big in Java development, but unheard of in PL/SQL. The AMIS Technology blog had a couple of articles about implementing design patterns in PL/SQL and none of it made the slightest bit of sense to me.

I notice the possible answers to the question "Please indicate your level of awareness of software design patterns from the following" are
* Expert
* Novice
* Reasonable knowledge
* No knowledge at all

Perhaps there needs to be an option for "heard of it but as yet unconvinced that this Java gimmick has any relevance to my work".
