Generics, Patterns, and Software Architecture

Generics are going to lend themselves well to the implementation of software patterns at all levels. Whether it be at a code design level, application architecture, or application integration level. We will find a lot of instances of using object in the past in our designs, we will want to refactor into the use of generics.

I have not had the opportunity to use them until now. I am embarking on a proof of concept on which I plan on using them at different levels of abstraction. So then what is the point of this Blog? Just to let you know I have had time to investigate the resources I will be using and wanted to share them. Both are excellent in their coverage of Generics. More will come later as I work through the POC.
