Design Patterns : Chain of Responsibility

The intend of Chain of Responibility Pattern is to avoid coupling the sender of a request to its reciever by giving more than one object change to handle the request. Let's try to mimic the execution of classical Waterfall Model with CoR. Let's begin by declaring the contract interface. And our sub classes. The final … Continue reading Design Patterns : Chain of Responsibility

Design Patterns : Fascade Pattern
