We did a simple segmentation, or ``market analysis'' of the OO community
to identify concerns or drivers:
-
Managers - concerned with $, time to market, evidence,
management models, etc.
-
Methodologists - concerned with scaling, principles, ``meta
issues''
-
Technologists -
In general, people interested in patterns and frameworks are
application programmers, though the reverse is not true. Some of
the methodologists are also interested in patterns and frameworks,
but most of the work in that area has come from technologists who
build systems.
-
Patterners - concerned with describing informal reusable
models, documents
-
Frameworkers - abstracting designs as concrete systems
via evolutionary prototyping
-
Application programmers (Smalltalk, C++, Eiffel ... VB)
concerned with code, concrete engineering artifacts,
quick learning, prototyping, etc. They need and ``instant
on'' solution.
