This is the git repository containing the files for a book I am writing. This book is all about making reusable elements of software design.

While I started to write this as an e-book, I now think the way to do this is write a blog post per design pattern and then compile them into a guide. These blog posts can be found here

These patterns will fit roughly into four categories:

• Creational
  • Abstract factory
  • Builder
  • Factory method
  • Lazy initialization
  • Multiton
  • Object pool
  • Prototype
  • Resource acquisition is initialization
  • Singleton
• Structural
  • Adapter
  • Bridge
  • Composite
  • Decorator
  • Facade
  • Flyweight
  • Front Controller
  • Module
  • Proxy
  • Telescoping constructor
• Behavioural
  • Blackboard
  • Chain of Responsibility
  • Command
  • Data Caching
  • Interpreter
  • Iterator
  • Mediator
  • Memento
  • Null object
  • Observer (Publish/Subscribe)
  • State
  • Servant
  • Specification
  • Strategy
  • Template
  • Visitor
• UI Patterns
  • Model View Presenter
  • Model View Controller
  • Model View View-Model
  • Model View Adapter
  • Presentation Abstraction Control

Patterns in bold are non gang of four patterns.
