This is the last of an eight part series where Robert is joined by Phil Japikse to discuss design patterns. A design pattern is a best practice you can use in your code to solve a common problem. In this episode, Phil demonstrates the Decorator pattern. This pattern allows behavior to be added to an individual object, either statically or dynamically, without affecting the behavior of other objects from the same class.
Episodes in this series:
- Command/Memento patterns
- Strategy pattern
- Template Method pattern
- Observer/Publish-Subscribe patterns
- Singleton pattern
- Factory patterns
- Adapter/Facade patterns
- Decorator pattern (this episode)
