Creational Patterns

This article has examined the Creational set of patterns from
those described by the GOF in their book titled "Design
patterns". I found that study of their design patterns was a
worthwhile thing to do. The following links were helpful while
studying the patterns myself, and while preparing this article. The
book itself is a good investment as it provides supplementary detail
upon the problems that the patterns are trying to solve, the elements
of the solution, and the consequences and trade-offs involved in
using the patterns.
The source for demonstration program that has been refered to
throughout this article is also avalable for download. It includes a
“notes” facility where it displays some brief background
for each of the patterns, so if you decide to start using the
patterns this program may be useful to you while you are in learning
mode. The following diagram shows the factory pattern in both
“demonstration” and “notes” modes.
In my next article I look at the GOF's Structural Patterns.
