Observable Pattern

Observable Pattern 


Gamma Categorization: Behavioral Design Pattern
Summary: Define a one-to-many dependency between objects so that when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically..

Sample Code

Problem: We want to trigger several events on the digital camera after a photo is taken.

Code

public class DigitalCamera 
{
    public event EventHandler PictureTaken;

    public void TakePicture()
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Taking picture.");
        PictureTaken?.Invoke(thisEventArgs.Empty);
    }
}

public class CameraSensorUtilities
{
    public void PictureTakenEventHandler(object senderEventArgs args)
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Cleaning digital sensor.");
    }
}

public class SystemCounters
{
    public void PictureTakenEventHandler(object senderEventArgs args)
    {
            System.Console.WriteLine("Updating camera counters.");
    }
}

Usage


var digitalCamera = new DigitalCamera();

var sensorUtils = new CameraSensorUtilities();
var counters = new SystemCounters();

digitalCamera.PictureTaken += sensorUtils.PictureTakenEventHandler;
digitalCamera.PictureTaken += counters.PictureTakenEventHandler;

digitalCamera.TakePicture();

Output

Taking picture.
Cleaning digital sensor.
Updating camera counters.

Software Development

Software Development Agile Agile is an insurance policy for market changes. By designing your solution according to this methodology, your project remains flexible and is always ready for change. It is always better to correct the mistake early in the process. With this method, you keep your finger on the pulse of a dynamic market and changing user expectations. As a result, you can continuously adapt, change your strategy, and create a product that will be in demand by the target audience, even if preferences have changed during the development process. DevOps DevOps is one more way to optimize the development budget of your application. A key DevOps approach is that this practice and its culture allow team members to better interact with each other and the customer. The software development team and those responsible for the operation of the application share responsibilities clearly, and it helps you avoid shifting responsibilities from one team member to another. DevOps involves th...

Abstract Factory Pattern

Abstract Factory Pattern  Gamma Categorization: Creational Design Patten Summary: When the object construction is complicated, needing multiple arguments, we should create a separate function (Factory Method) or class (Factory), which is responsible for the creation of the all object. Problem examples Suport of multiple databases Multiple data sources: Serial port, ethernet port, device driver Diferent report types Solution Abstract class Generalized interface A Factory creates instances of the concrete classes Sample Code The abstract factory public   interface   IPhotoFactory {      IAnaloguePhoto   CreateAnaloguePhoto ();      IDigitalPhoto   CreateDigitalPhoto (); } The abstract products public   interface   IAnaloguePhoto {      string   GetName (); } public   interface   IDigitalPhoto {      ...

Template Pattern

Template Pattern  Gamma Categorization: Behavioral Design Pattern Summary:  Define the skeleton of an algorithm in an operation, deferring some steps to subclasses. Template Method lets subclasses redefine certain steps of an algorithm without changing the algorithm's structure. Sample Code Problem: We want to have a digital camera template, which should be used or overriden by it's concrete classes. Code public   abstract   class   DigitalCamera {      public   void   TakePhoto ()     {          System . Console . WriteLine ( "Taking photo." );     }      public   abstract   void   LiveView ();      public   virtual   void   FireFlash ()     {          System . Console . WriteLine...
