Chapter 16. Decorator

Most of the time, when you take pictures, you wouldn't think of how you would decorate them later. You take them just because you want to capture the moment. Let's say you have one of them printed later, and then you decide to put it in a nice frame with a type of special glass, so on and so forth. But you can put the same picture in a different frame later if you change your mind. Even though you have changed the frame for the picture, the picture is still the same one without being affected, because you were just adding something to the picture but not changing it.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
