A collection of Ruby code examples illustrating 14 classic GoF design patterns from Russ Olsen's book 'Design Patterns in Ruby'. It serves as a reference for learning how patterns like Strategy, Observer, and Singleton are implemented idiomatically in Ruby.

Use cases

• learn design patterns in ruby
• see example implementations of gof patterns
• study strategy pattern ruby code
• reference for singleton or observer in ruby
• prepare for software design interviews
• teach object-oriented design with ruby

When to choose

• you are learning or teaching design patterns using Ruby
• you want concise, idiomatic example code for classic GoF patterns
• you are reading Russ Olsen's book and want runnable examples

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready pattern library or gem to import
• you need patterns beyond the 14 covered here
• you work in a language other than Ruby
