Good examples for exposing bad practice

The "Killer Examples" series of workshops are highly interactive workshops which have been an annual occurrence at OOPSLA since 2002. The goals of the workshop are to bring together educators and developers to share their object-oriented expertise, and to provide a forum for discussion of teaching techniques and pedagogical goals. The theme of last year's workshop was pedagogically sound examples for object orientation; this year's workshop continues that theme, but rather than focusing on examples that demonstrate sound object-oriented design, it will focus on examples that expose bad practice and so lead to better appreciation of good practice, as obtained by following sound object-oriented principles.
