In many cases, there are multiple different ways to implement the same design pattern. We've tried to show some good ones and we've also tried to avoid repetition in the cases where more design patterns can use the same features of the Scala programming language. By now, you should have enough knowledge in order to actually use an alternative implementation by yourself when told which approach to use, based ...
