Design Patterns
Long time back (almost 2 years back) I started a Blog about going through all the design Patterns. I started off with the “Strategy Pattern” and for some reason (ok Laziness) I was not able to continue that train of thought …

Inspired by reading martins Book(Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C#), I am planning to go over the design patterns. I would follow the order as discussed in martins book.  The patterns are

1. Command
2. Active Object
3. Template Method
4. Strategy
5. Facade
6. Mediator
7. Singleton
8. Monostate
9. Null Object
10. Factory
11. Composite
12. Observer
13. Abstract Server
14. Adapter
15. Bridge
16. Proxy
17. Gateway
18. Visitor
19. State

Having collected several materials on Design patterns, I have decided to refer to the following books and resources when blogging about a Design pattern. So here are the resources (apart from Martin’s book)

1. Head First Design Patterns
   The Best book out there for learning Patterns. Period.
   
2. Refactoring to Patterns
   One of the reasons to motivate you to start refactoring your code.
   
3. Dofactory.com
   The best quick reference for design patterns.
   
4. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
   The “father”  of all design pattern books.
