This is my implementation of the Design Patterns from the book

'Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software'

The webpage and official 'code' for this book were previously available from

[1] http://st-www.cs.illinois.edu/users/patterns/DPBook/DPBook.html

[2] http://st-www.cs.illinois.edu/patterns/dpbook/Source.html

(TODO: link [1] and [2] no longer work. Does anybody know the new location of

the 'official' source code for the book?)

The nice thing about the book is that it is... well... not complete :-) To come

to a complete working implementation of all the Design Patterns presented in the

book, and be able to play with them, requires some extra coding. The goal of

this project is to actually provide the missing pieces and come to something

that will compile and run cleanly.

On the following websites, I have found some more C++ code that helped me

complete everything:

A more modern C++11 approach using Boost libraries was given in a talk

by Tobias Darm given here:

An interview from 2009 with the GoF authors is given here:
