Overview:

Patterns are part of the software professional's toolbox today. Specifically, one learns about design patterns - ways of designing the programs to make them more robust, flexible, and correct. Erich Gamma laid the foundation for software design patterns with his PhD dissertation in the early '90s. Gamma got much of his inspiration from Christopher Alexander, an architect who explored the idea of patterns in the discipline of architecture (not software architecture). A pattern is simply a proven approach to solving a commonly occurring problem. The pattern isn't a concrete solution that one simply cut and paste, but it is an approach to how one might solve the problem. A pattern is not the same as a template where one fills in the blanks.
