A quick note about design patterns, which I picked up from a Google talk. There are originally 3 different styles of patterns:
- Creational patterns, e.g. factory method.
- Structural patterns, e.g. bridge or facade.
- Behavioral patterns, e.g. strategy or observer.
Design patterns are different from data structures and algorithms. Design patterns are "descriptions of communicating objects and classes that are customized to solve a general design problem i particular context" [Gof4].
In addition there has been established another pattern group: Concurrency patterns, e.g. Active object. This group is mentioned at the wiki site.
So the next thing will be to follow up and buy the Gof4 book.
