Design Patterns for C# (Gang of Four)

Introduction

This repository provides the implementation of the design patterns mentioned by the Gang of Four for C#, to solve common problems in software design. It takes away the burden of writing the underlying code for the design patterns, and focus on the problem at hand, i.e. using the patterns straight away for developing a well designed software solution.

It contains the ready-made classes and interfaces of the design patterns. They are written in the most standard way possible so that they can be easily understood and implemented. There are examples provided for each patterns provided by the library, and these example are referred for understanding and using them appropriately (see Available Patterns section).
