Using the Decorator Design Pattern to Address Cross-Cutting Concerns

Building classes to follow the Single Responsibility Principle can be challenging. We need our code to do so much! This session will lay out a few common situations where it's easy to lose sight of the Single Responsibility Principle and explain how the Decorator pattern can be applied to keep code neat, clean and running mean. Examples will be presented in C# and Javascript (if time allows) but the design pattern can be applied to many other languages.
