Object-oriented design patterns are ideas of software construction that appear in different scenarios when we deal with models of the problem we're solving. Because they're high-level ideas, it's hard to think of them as being tied to particular programming languages. They are instead more general concepts about how objects will interact in the application. Of course, they will have their implementation details, varying from language to language, but that doesn't form the essence of a design pattern.
That's the theoretical aspect of a design pattern, the fact that it is an abstract idea that expresses concepts about the layout of the objects in the solution. There are plenty of other books and several other resources about object-oriented design, and design patterns in particular, so in this book, we are going...
