Abstract Factory Brief...

Explain Abstract Factory and what you think about it.

An abstract factory provides an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying there concrete classes. [GOF]

I basically think that an abstract factory pattern tries to present an abstract class from which several other inherited classes can be derived from.

Hello Marvel,

This is really a great pattern you have created. I don't believe it has been tried & tested, but if it should be developed further, I should think it will be beneficial to other people with learning disabilities and not only mentally handicapped children learning music.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Marvel,

Thank God you now understand the basics of software pattern. With regards to question 6, I don't seems to disagree with your answer but as the definition of pattern states, it solves a recurring problem within a particular context. Neither framework ,algorithms and business plan solves problem which are recurring. Thus making them, non-patterns.

Continue learning patterns.
