Chapter 5. The Proxy Pattern – Controlling Object Access
In the previous chapter, we started with a brief introduction to Structural patterns and went ahead to discuss about the Façade design pattern. We understood the concept of Façade with a UML diagram and also learned how it's applied in the real world with the help of Python implementations. You learned about the upsides and downsides of the Façade pattern in the FAQs section.
In this chapter, we take a step forward and deal with the Proxy pattern that falls under the hood of the Structural design patterns. We will get introduced to the Proxy pattern as a concept and go ahead with a discussion on the design pattern and see how it is used in software application development. We will work with a sample use case and implement it in Python v3.5.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics in brief:
- An introduction to proxy and Proxy design patterns
- A UML diagram for the Proxy pattern
- Variations of...
