I'm trying to educate my colleagues in the area of design patterns. Some of the original Gang of Four patterns are a little esoteric, so I'm wondering if there is a sub-group of "essential" patterns that all programmers should know. As I look through the list, I think I've probably used -

  • Abstract Factory
  • Factory Method
  • Singleton
  • Bridge
  • Facade
  • Command

Which ones do you actually use in practice, and what do you use them for?
