Learning objectives

This tutorial is divided into seven exercises. The beginning exercises help you to set up the environment needed to apply patterns. After the enviroment is set, you will learn one way to instantiate a pattern. Next, you specify arguments for a pattern instance's parameters using four different methods. Last, you will make a final modification to one of the arguments and reapply the pattern. This modification helps you to see the power of including patterns in your software design.
