This session is part of the Software Design Track.
Design Patterns have proven to be useful over several decades and knowledge about them is still very important to design robust, decoupled systems. However, in recent decades a lot of misconceptions have piled up, many based on misunderstandings about software design in general and Design Patterns in particular.
This purpose of this talk is to help to separate facts from misconceptions. It explains what software design is, how Design Patterns fit in, and what an idiom is. Also, it addresses the following misconceptions about Design Patterns:
- Design Patterns are outdated and have become irrelevant;
- The GoF Design Patterns are nothing but idioms;
- The GoF Design Patterns are limited to object-oriented programming;
- ‘std::make_unique’ is a Design Pattern and helps to adhere to SRP;
After this talk, attendees will have a much deeper understanding of the art of software design and about the purpose of Design Patterns.
