Solutions vs. Patterns
Explore the distinctions between software solutions and underlying design patterns to solve new problems effectively. Learn why defining yourself by specific tools limits problem-solving, and understand how a broad knowledge of design patterns equips you to build adaptable, scalable solutions across languages and levels of your stack.
We'll cover the following...
