In this issue...

In this issue, we have a detailed article on Decorator Pattern by Example.

Abstract: In this article we present an example that illustrates the use of the Decorator pattern. The objective is to illustrate the flexibility provided by this very elegant pattern. The example is presented in Java; however any .NET developer must be able to grasp the concept from it. Please visit http://www.agiledeveloper.com/download.aspx to download the complete article from the Agile Developer web site.
