In allusion to Dare Obasanjo's impressions on Map, Reduce, Filter (Functional Programming in C# 3.0: How Map/Reduce/Filter can Rock your World) "With these three building blocks, you could replace the majority of the procedural for loops in your application with a single line of code. C# 3.0 doesn't just stop there." Should we increasin...
Design patterns aren't necessarily a programming style but rather a template for solving a problem in a number of different situations. But how do they differ from other programming styles? Thanks Edit: "(a) What are design patterns? How do these differ from other programming styles? [7]" ...
