Design Patterns in C#: Flyweight

Learn everything there is to know about the Flyweight Design Pattern

The Flyweight Design Pattern is an important design pattern in software engineering, especially useful for optimizing applications that handle a large number of similar objects. It’s a crucial pattern for developers aiming to improve memory efficiency, as it allows the sharing of common data across multiple objects, reducing memory overhead. This pattern is particularly effective in scenarios where memory consumption is critical, such as graphics applications or caching systems. In this course, Amichai Mantinband will teach you everything you need to know to understand the Flyweight pattern and how to implement it to make your applications more efficient and resource-friendly.
