7. Design Patterns
In This Chapter
Once you begin regularly programming using objects, it’s not too long before you encounter the subject of design patterns. A design pattern is, simply put, a recommended best practice for solving a particular problem. In other words, if you’re trying to figure out how to implement such-and-such functionality, then use this design pattern as your approach.
