Design Patterns
Unified Solutions for Software Problems Design patterns are tried-and-true, reusable solutions to common problems in software design. They were first defined in the seminal book, “Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software,” by authors Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides, collectively known as the Gang of Four (GoF). Categories of Design Patterns: […]
Context Mapping Patterns
Part One: Understanding the Fundamentals Context mapping patterns are often mistakenly thought to be exclusive to Domain-Driven Design (DDD) experts. However, this is a significant misconception. Strong and clean design principles, such as those found in a modular monolithic architecture, necessitate an understanding of these patterns. Even in cases of simple end-to-end integration, learning how […]
