Design Patterns: Template Method and Strategy

Thursday, Oct 13, 2011 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm (60-90 min talk)
Presenter: Scott Stanchfield
Let’s talk about Design Patterns!
Patterns are all about communicating your design intent in a concise
manner through a common vocabulary. Many of the common Design
Patterns are techniques you already know and use! By naming them you
can communicate your design structure in a few words rather than a
20-minute conversation. Template Method and Strategy are two very
useful patterns that work quite well together, allowing you to reuse
parts of an algorithm while changing other parts depending on your
application. I'll walk through some examples of how you can change the
behavior while walking a data structure, and how your design choices
can affect maintainability of the application.


As usual, Pangia Technologies, LLC a CACI Company will provide food and door
prize.


We look forward to seeing you there.
