Design Patterns in C#: Proxy

Learn everything there is to know about the Proxy Design Pattern

About This Course

The Proxy Design Pattern is an important design pattern in software engineering, commonly used to control access to objects by acting as a substitute or placeholder. This pattern is essential for developers, as it enables resource optimization, security, and lazy initialization by providing a surrogate object that can manage access and functionality. The Proxy pattern is especially useful in applications where direct access to an object is either costly or needs to be regulated, such as remote service access, caching, or access control. In this course, Amichai Mantinband will guide you through everything you need to understand and implement the Proxy pattern effectively, empowering you to build secure, efficient, and maintainable applications.
