## What it is
A collection of .NET 5.0 console applications demonstrating Gang of Four design patterns through food-business-themed examples with mock external dependencies. It serves as an educational resource paired with a YouTube series for learning object-oriented design.

## Use cases
- learn GoF design patterns with realistic examples
- see how design patterns apply with databases and queues
- study C# object-oriented design examples
- find practical alternatives to oversimplified pattern tutorials
- teach design patterns in a software engineering course

## When to choose
- you want moderately realistic C# examples of all 23 GoF patterns
- you learn better from working code than abstract diagrams
- you want examples that include mock external dependencies like databases and message queues

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready library to import into your project
- you need patterns in a language other than C#
- you need actively maintained or licensed code for commercial use

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials, programming-languages
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: design-patterns, gang-of-four, csharp, object-oriented-design, educational-examples, mock-dependencies
