Chapter 7. Delegate Pattern

One of the strongest features of Object Oriented Programming is its dynamic nature. With today's push of more available features, mash-ups and constantly evolving standards, dynamic code is gaining a whole new meaning. Whether its new file storage or streaming standards, a new social networking site or a fresh take at some of the existing Internet pioneer's APIs, web programming continues to mutate.

The Delegate Design Pattern removes decisions and complex functionality from the core object by distributing or delegating them to other objects.
