Creational Design Patterns

Design patterns are reusable programming solutions that have been used in various real-world contexts and have proved to produce expected results. They are shared among programmers and continue to be improved over time. This topic is popular thanks to the book by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides, titled Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software.
