Design Patterns: Adapter and Façade

This is the seventh of an eight part series where Robert is joined by Phil Japikse to discuss design patterns. A design pattern is a best practice you can use in your code to solve a common problem. In this episode, Phil demonstrates the Adapter and Façade patterns. The Adapter pattern allows the interface of an existing class to be used as another interface. The Façade pattern enables an object to provide a simplified interface to a larger body of code, such as a class library.

Awesome, awesome stuff! The level of explanation was great and the real examples talking about e-commerce helped me figure out about the scenarios that I can apply these patterns.

[@DanteS-119]

This is great!!! I’d prefer sticking with weather because I don’t know Rocky and Bullwinkle but having many examples hammered in the concept.

[@jamesallen74]

As an expert on Rocky and Bullwinkle he really messed up that whole domain. I'm really upset LOL.

[@fadidib8516]

great stuff

[@powerswish]

I say use a real domain and handwave any criticism as "we're just keeping this simple for the example...blah blah." At least you used something tangible like Rocky and Bullwinkle. A major pet peeve of mine is when people use "foo" as an example. That does nothing to advance my understanding, because I still wouldn't know what foo.bar() is trying to accomplish. Contrast that to _squirrel.fly() or whatever. That helps with the mental connection that it matches up with a move() method or whatever in an adapter.

I think no sticking to the weather example just make a disservice to the example. This abstract example just put an unnecesary layer for the viewer to follow

[@MoatasemBakri]

I just really were looking for a video that explains these pattern with real example at least from this channel.
I'm really disappointed

You guys should *really* pick an example and stick with it. This video is a mess switching between Bullwinkle and a weather app.
