  1. OrderFlow Ten Design Patterns, One Real C# App

    Forget IShape — it's time to build software that actually does something. OrderFlow takes ten classic Gang of Four design patterns and weaves them into a single, fully functional food delivery platform built with C# and .NET 10. Clone the repository, step through the production-grade code, and finally master not just how to write patterns, but when to use them (and when to keep it simple).
