Donald Schön introduced the concepts of reflection in action and reflection on action in hisstudies of performing professionals. When we design software, we're engaged in what he calls areflective conversation with our material; as in any conversation, it's important to listencarefully. Applying Schön's ideas to our conversation with software design materials can make themmore pleasant and effective.
