Adapter Patterns Will Emerge

Design patterns have changed software development in the last few years. Support for design patterns in modeling tools and IDE is getting very common, and programmers are now more familiar with terms such as singleton, MVC, factory pattern, and so on. A few years ago, these terms did not mean much to most programmers. Today, many developers understand their benefits, and apply design patterns to their software designs on a regular basis. One of the contributing factors to the popularity of the design patterns is the familiarity with the problems it solves. Software architects, designers, and programmers have encountered similar problems that the patterns solve, and hence accept the pattern concept and solutions.
