Design Patterns In Brief

A Design Patter is the combination of the problem and its solution. Design Patterns, as the name implies have their biggest impact in the design phase of a project.

Design Patterns are devided into three fundamental groups:

Creational Patterns - are used to create objects of the right class for a problem, gathering when instances of several different classes are available.
Behavioral Patterns - describe interactions between objects. They focus on how objects communicate with each other.
Structural Patterns - form larger structural from individual parts, generally of different classes.

Christopher Alexander is an architect (in the sense of buildings, not software) who invented Patterns.
