What is good code? The answer is that there is no single answer to good code because it is relative. What this book provides are solutions to a context that could be considered as good code for the context.
Writing good code is really a question of what the code is trying to solve. We debate about good code because there is not a single good piece of code, but many good pieces of code. Each good piece of code depends on the context that it is used.
Do not confuse patterns with good pieces of code. Using patterns good pieces of code result. But not all good pieces of code are patterns. Patterns are a mechanism used to generically describe how to solve specific problems. The problem that a pattern solves is described by its context. This book is not about patterns.
This book is about providing solutions to certain problems. Please understand that this book is not about solving all problems, but specific problems. This is why this is also the first volume, as there are many solutions to provide.
