Design Patterns: a Deep Dive

Design patterns suggest approach to common problems that arise during software development regardless of what programming language. But implementation of these patterns is specific to the language. The main goal of this presentation is to highlight selected patterns as they may be implemented taking advantages of Flex framework.
You'll see a not-so-obvious implementation of a Singleton, how a Proxy can dramatically change the behavior of an object, why a Mediator is a must-have in each Flex application. Do you know how to write  Data Transfer Objects that  are so important in Flex remoting?  If time permits, we'll review the Class Factory pattern too.
