GoF Design Patterns - which ones do you actually use?
- by CraigS
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?
