Re: [xml-dev] Book that maps imperative design patterns to declarativepa

[David <dlee@calldei.com>]

I think it would be very useful.  For people trained in Imperative 
programming to see how common Imperative design patterns are solved 
usiing Declarative patterns.   Of course you should start from the 
problem ... but it may be useful to express the problem in terms of 
Imperative solutions in order to identify what problem the imperative 
solution was trying to address, then re-solve the same problem using 
Declarative solutions.
