ChicagoRuby: BLUE1647 - Three Design Patterns You're Probably Already Using

Three Design Patterns You're Probably Already Using
Does the idea of using design patterns sound complicated and scary? In this talk, we'll cover some of the basics of the strategy pattern, the decorator pattern, and the factory pattern without the advanced technical terms and 1990's UML diagrams. You might discover, like I did, that these patterns describe best practices you are already using.
