Command Pattern Deep Dive
The command pattern is one of the most versatile and useful of all the Gang-of-Four design patterns, but surprisingly it's not used much. Or is it? I think you'll find you've used it more often than you think you have, maybe without even knowing it had a name!
Sometimes called the transaction pattern, it can be applied to a large variety of application domains from UI menu structures, command-line applications, logging systems, and just about any system required a transaction to be stored and executed at a later time. In this talk we'll take an in-depth look at the pattern, discussing why it's useful, when you might use it, and how to implement it.
