Do you use design patterns in your code? Probably — but that doesn’t matter, because the term “design patterns” probably sets you on edge so much that you haven’t stopped to consider whether you’re using them, and what advantages they might give you. It turns out that design patterns make it easy for you to communicate with other developers, to reason about the way in which you’re architecting your code, and to take advantage of the thought that many others have put into certain ways of developing software. In this talk, Jeremy Clark describes the reasons for learning design patterns, and then describes several of the most common ones that you’re likely using already, even without knowing it.
