Design patterns improve my skill and understanding.
Through the use of
design patterns, I can improve my knowledge about a domain and find
new ways to represent complex models.
Embracing design patterns means changing the way we code. It means joining
communities where design patterns are shared. It means doing research
instead of plowing blindly into a solution. Many good sources are available.
