Design patterns in golang
A beginner guide... happy coding!

Creational patterns
Creational design patterns abstract the instantiation process. They help make a system independent of how its objects are created, composed, and represented.
Singleton
Ensure a class only has one instance, and provide a global point of access to it.
Builder
Separate the construction of a complex object from its representation so that the same construction process can create different representations.
Factory
Define an interface for creating an object, but let subclasses decide which class to instantiate. Factory Method lets a class defer instantiation to subclasses.
Abstract Factory
Provide an interface for creating famili es of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes.
Structural patterns
Structural patterns are concerned with how classes and objects are composed to form larger structures. Structural class patterns use inheritance to compose interfaces or implementations. As a simple example, consider how multiple inheritance mixes two or more classes into one.
Composition
Compose objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. Composite lets clients treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly.
Adapter
Convert the interfac e of a class into another interface clients expect. Adapter lets classes work together that couldn' t otherwise because of incompatible interfaces.
Behavioral patterns
Behavioral patterns are concerned with algorithms and the assignment of responsibilities between objects. Behavio ral patterns describe not just patterns of objects or classes but also the patterns of communication between them. These patterns characterize complex control flow that's difficult to follow at run-time. They shift your focus away from flow of control to let you concent ratejust on the way objects are interconnected.
Chain of responsibility
Avoid coupling the sender of a request to its receiver by giving more than one object a chance to handle the request. Chain the receiving objects and pass the request along the chain until an object handles it.
Strategy
Define a family oafl gorit h ms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from clients that use it.
Concurrency patterns
Pattenrs for concurrent work and parallel execution in Go.
