Good article about software design

Just add this one to your reading list:

"(XP) challenges many of the common assumptions about software development. Of these one of the most controversial is its rejection of significant effort in up-front design, in favor of a more evolutionary approach. To its detractors this is a return to "code and fix" development - usually derided as hacking. To its fans it is often seen as a rejection of design techniques (such as the UML), principles and patterns. Don't worry about design, if you listen to your code a good design will appear." (From "Is Design Dead?")"
