Hi,

I just want to share with you a page where you can find many design
patterns written in Delphi, if you may be  interested:

github.com/jimmckeeth/DelphiPatterns

regards,

Thanks for sharing. Isn't Jim McKeeth a delphi evangelist?
On a side note, design patterns are useful things, but people
sometimes go overboard. I saw this before on job interviews, if you
don't know what a singleton is they will shot you instantly without
any further questions . Therefore design patterns are abused and
overused.

There are way more Pascal implementations of The Gang Of Four design
patterns available.
And yes, he is currently a Delphi Evangelist.
He is a long time Delphi user, but I don't know if he was the above 
already 5 years ago. (repository dates)

Delphi 7 already came with GoF in some editions

GoF was the mandatory reading in the design patterns course at
faculty. IMHO it was hard to read...

Here you will find more examples, not only in Pascal. There's also
general info about patterns, anti-patterns, etc

A design pattern is language agnostic. That can be hard to read if you
keep the perspective of a language. It is science, philosophy. It is
also essential, if you agree with the patterns or not.
