Gang of Four's Design Patterns

CompLearn was written using several object-oriented design patterns as recognized by the Gang of Four in their classic publication Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. Singletons, Factory Methods, and Iterators are just a handful of such solutions implemented in CompLearn. The Adapter pattern, in particular, as seen in the classes CompAdaptor and TreeAdaptor, were employed to enhance flexibility and expandability.
