Your Guide to Design Patterns – Chain of Responsibility

The Chain of Responsibility pattern is a behavioural design pattern that is commonly used. This pattern decouples classes by passing a request from one class to another until the request is recognised. The receiving objects are chained, and the request is passed along the chain until a specific object handles it. Each object in the chain is given a chance to handle the request.

Your Guide to Design Patterns: Composite Pattern

This week we explore a common structural design pattern: the composite pattern. We can apply the Composite pattern when there is a part-whole hierarchy of objects, and a client needs to deal with objects uniformly regardless of the fact that an object might be a leaf (simple object) or a branch (composite object).
