Today, I was in search of a quick way to paginate an HTML book.

jQuery came to mind as a good reposotory of JavaScript code.

However, the pagination examples I found would not function correctly given the amount of text I was trying to paginate. I do not believe my requirements were out of scope. A couple hundred words per page is typical. Alas, this leads to my caution about design patterns. Technically, jQuery is not a design pattern. However, the pre-built reusability of jQuery reminds me of design patterns. I think software architects and the likes therof would earnestly investigate and flesh out their requirments over several iterations to determine if design patterns are appropriate for their system’s build. Perhaps, some minor tweaking is appropriate to the prefabricated code. Let architects beware of the potential consequences of implementing design patterns, which are innaproritate for their systems.
