Where things get "faster and better" with Design Patterns is when it comes time to update and change a program. Kindest regards, Bill Hi Klickvebot,

Thanks for the kind words. Where things get “faster and better” with Design Patterns is when it comes time to update and change a program.

Kindest regards,

Congratulations! Hi William,

Thanks for the well-chosen yet not overly long or complicated parable – finally a nice blog post I can point people to who ask me the »faster or better« question.

Congratulations!

Sanders Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:48:26 +0000 http://www.as3dp.com/?p=1920#comment-3180 Hi Brandon, To get a good OOP background and foundational Design Pattern concepts, I'd suggest you start with Chapter 1. If you want to jump right into design patterns, Chapter 2 (Factory Method) or Chapter 11 (Strategy) are good choices. On this blog, you can find several simple examples of Design Patterns. I would suggest you use the index on the right side of this blog and cruise through to see the ones available. (In the 100+ Posts we've got, you'll have plenty from which to choose.) The Flyweight is presented in a multi-part post you can find in the index on the right →, but you might want to consider some of the others before you go to that one. Kindest regards, Bill Hi Brandon,

I'm looking to familiarize more with Design Patterns. What is a good one to start with? Where can I see an example of it? What is "Flyweight Pattern"? Thanks, -B Thanks for the analogy.
