C-Sharp Design Patterns Factory and Abstract Factory

Expected outcome: At the end of the course, you will be able to implement these three patterns and build more extensible, maintainable and testable applications.

The simplest way to explain the concept of a factory is to look at factories in the real world. The purpose of a factory is to produce a product. For example, a telephone is produced in a factory. As a consumer, you don't care about the manufacturing process — you only care about the finished product. An advantage of this factory is that several customers can obtain these phones without worrying about the creation process.

Translated into code: A factory is an object for creating objects. The goal is to move the creation (instantiation) of a class to a separate object.
