We’ve talked about writing clean, readable code and keeping it maintainable by following the SOLID design principles.  Another big step in building your programming foundation is to start learning and recognizing software Design Patterns. The value of understanding design patterns is two-fold; In some cases we will find new ways to think about common problems we face in our application designs, in other cases, the patterns give us a common language to explain and discuss some of the designs we are already using.  Design patterns can help us reduce complexity in our applications by isolating logic that is subject to change and allowing future extensibility.
