Summary
In this chapter, we understood why design patterns help with the maintainability and reusability of the parts of the system you are building. We also looked at some typical use cases and code snippets that you can use in your projects. Finally, we presented .NET Generic Host, which is a good example of how .NET uses design patterns to enable code reusability and enforce best practices.
All this content will help you while architecting new software or even maintaining an existing one, since design patterns are already-known solutions for some real-life problems in software development.
In Chapter 11, Understanding the Diļ¬erent Domains in Software Solutions, we will cover the domain-driven design approach. We will also learn how to use the SOLID design principles so that we can map different domains to our software solutions.
