Design Patterns in Ruby

What is a design pattern?

Design patterns provide solutions to commonly occurring problems. "[Software design] Patterns are formalized best practices that the programmer can use to solve common problems when designing an application or system." 1

While the techniques, solutions, and best practices highlighted here are rooted in the Ruby language, the intention is to provide utility to any software developer writing in any language.

Inspiration

This is 100% inspired by the concepts outlined in Russ Olsen's excellent Design Patterns In Ruby book. I highly recommend picking it up.
