+#Design Patterns
+
+
+## What is a Design Pattern?
+
+## Four Essential Elements of Design Patterns
+### Name
+
+The handle whe can use to describe a design problem, its solution, and the consequences in a word or few.
+
+
+### Problem
+
+When to apply the pattern.  This can be:
+- How to represent an algorithm as objects
+- Class structures symtomatic to inflexible design
+- List of conditions that must be met before it makes sense to use that particular pattern
+
+
+### Solution
+
+Elements that make up the design, their relationships, responsibilities, and collaborations.
+
+The solution provides an abstract description of a design problem and how a general arrangement of elements (classes and objects in our case) solves it.
+
+The solution does NOT describe a particular implementation.  It is a template that can be applied in may different situations.
+
+### Consequences
+
+The results and trade-offs of applying the pattern.
+
+
+## Describing Design Patterns
+
+###Purpose
+- Creational: Describe the process of object creation
+- Structural: Composition of classes or objects
+- Behavioral: Ways in which classes or objects interact and distributes responsibility
+
+
+###Scope
+- Class
+- Object
+
+##Delegation
+
+##Inheritance vs Composition
+
+##Inheritance vs Paramerized Types
