Microsoft Visual Basic developers have long clamored for complete objectoriented
language support. Microsoft Visual Basic .NET supports all the features of an objectoriented
language. In addition, the entire Microsoft .NET Framework, which includes the
development support for Microsoft Windows applications, Web applications, Web
services, graphics, and data access, is designed according to object-oriented principles.
Developers who have a firm grasp of object-oriented principles will be the strongest .NET
developers.
The purpose of the design pattern dictionary is to serve as
reference point for commonly accepted software design patterns
and idioms. It contains structured summaries of
some 30 design patterns and idioms, commonly used in object oriented
programming

SOME BACKGROUND ON DESIGN PATTERNS
The term “design patterns” sounds a bit formal to the uninitiated and
can be somewhat off-putting when you first encounter it. But, in fact, design
patterns are just convenient ways of reusing object-oriented code between
projects and between programmers. The idea behind design patterns is
simple-- write down and catalog common interactions between objects that
programmers have frequently found useful.
