Chapter 5
Seeing How Patterns Are Made and Used
In This Chapter
- Finding out how patterns are created
- Writing patterns of your own
- Understanding how patterns document designs
A pattern is more than just a good idea that someone had in the shower one morning; it's a proven solution. It's also a way to explain how system architecture is designed.
Likewise, developing a pattern for other people to use is about more than just writing it down. In this chapter, I show you what goes into creating a pattern, from idea to expert review. I also explain how you can use the patterns that you've written to document your design.
