Nick Szabo has written a layman(ish) guide to smart contracts on First Monday. Which I will read, oh yes. Just after I’ve ploughed through Design Patterns, a cheapo copy of which turned up yesterday. It was getting too embarassing to admit I’ve never read it. It’s a great book for explaining to you what you already knew at some level – and I mean that as a compliment. There’s stuff that these patterns solve that I consistently get wrong, fix, and relearn, only to forget again the next time. Hopefully having a vocabulary will staple this into my head.
