In my endless endeavor to learn .NET, I have been reading a lot of content on Design Patterns.  According to Wikipedia, “a design pattern is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software design”.  Some common patterns include the Singleton, Facade,  Adaptor and Decorator.  There are many, many patterns and below are some great resources to learn about them.

Blog Series
One of the best resources that I have found so far is David Cumps’ series on Design Patterns.  He not only gives great code samples, but explains each of the patterns very well.  I highly recommend checking out his site if you have not done so.

Video Series (DNRTV)
There are several DNRTV videos with JP Boodhoo on Design Patterns.  These are a very good resource.

• Jean-Paul Boodhoo on Demystifying Design Patterns Part 1
• Jean-Paul Boodhoo on Demystifying Design Patterns Part 2
• Jean-Paul Boodhoo on Demystifying Design Patterns Part 3
• Jean-Paul Boodhoo on Demystifying Design Patterns Part 4
• Jean-Paul Boodhoo on Demystifying Design Patterns Part 5

Tutorial Site
The Design Patterns page on the  Data & Object Factory site is also a great resource.

Happy Learning.
