Use and Misuse of Design Patterns

 

In this article, Rockford Lhotka discusses about the use and misuse of Design Patterns. We often get enthused with the implementation of Design Patterns when we learn one. But, some of the technologists opine that using the design pattern without actual need indeed will result into negative consequences rather than positive consequences. Unless the positive consequences overweigh the negative consequences of using a particular pattern, do not use it. A simple programming construct is just enough. There is no hard-core rule that we need to implement Design Pattern in programming for sure.

I liked this article by Rockford and hope you would like this too…
