0.0

Design Patterns are a type of pattern used in the initial design phase of an object-oriented development project. They are currently the most popular pattern type because almost any type of project-large or small-requires a design phase. These are patterns that have proved successful when programmers or developers are first planning the project. This is often the most crucial stage of a project and one riddled with errors. This book documents 46 Visual Basic .NET design patterns including 20 that have never been published before. It also features case studies that demonstrate how to use design patterns effectively in the real world and even explains where not to use design patterns.
