Andy Kramek is doing two sessions on Design Patterns. I've studied Design Patterns for sometime and have seen several conference presentations on this topic. Andy always has excellent sessions and I was looking forward to this one. As I expected, he did not disappoint. In fact, he did the best job of explaining Design Patterns that I've ever seen. Instead of trying to cover many different patterns, he concentrated on a handful, bridge, strategy, chain of responsibility, mediator, decorator, and wrapper. He presented each one in order, defined what they do, then showed a very clear and simple example of how the pattern is used. He then talked about pros and cons of the pattern. Part is coming up and I am looking forward to it.
