In this module, we will dive deep into the singleton design pattern, exploring its basic implementation and common use cases. We’ll tackle advanced topics such as lazy instantiation, multithreading challenges, and alternative designs like the monostate pattern. Additionally, we'll cover real-world examples, and registry patterns, and evaluate when to use singleton effectively in your applications.

In this module, we will explore the factory method design pattern, covering its structure and basic implementation. You'll learn how to apply it in different contexts, including application frameworks and parameterized approaches. We’ll also discuss how to integrate memory management with smart pointers and analyze the advantages and trade-offs of using the factory method.

In this module, we will explore the object pool design pattern, focusing on its structure and practical applications. You will learn how to implement pooling for game objects and multiple actors, as well as create a flexible, generic object pool. Through examples, we’ll cover advanced topics such as reducing dependencies and optimizing memory allocation, helping you decide when and how to use object pooling effectively.

In this module, we will explore the abstract factory design pattern, starting with its intent and structure. You’ll learn to apply it by refactoring basic examples and implementing it in a database framework with SQL Server and MySQL classes. We’ll also cover advanced usage, integrating it with the factory method, and discuss the pros and cons to help you determine when to use the abstract factory in your designs.

In this module, we will explore the prototype design pattern, focusing on its intent and how it facilitates object cloning. You will learn how to apply the pattern through practical examples, including game development scenarios. We’ll address the difference between shallow and deep copies, handle varying object states, and develop a prototype manager. Lastly, we’ll explore memory management optimizations using smart pointers and evaluate when the prototype pattern is most beneficial in software design.

In this module, we will explore the builder design pattern, focusing on its intent and structure. You will learn how to implement the builder pattern through practical examples, such as refactoring a file class to resolve design issues. We will also cover advanced topics like modern builder approaches and the fluent interface. By the end, you’ll be able to assess when and how to effectively use the builder pattern in your projects.
