About the Abstract Factory


In the Abstract Factory Pattern, an abstract factory defines what objects the non-abstract or concrete factory will need to be able to create.

The concrete factory must create the correct objects for it's context, insuring that all objects created by the concrete factory have been chosen to be able to work correctly for a given circumstance.

In this example we have an abstract factory, AbstractBookFactory, that specifies two classes, AbstractPHPBook and AbstractMySQLBook, which will need to be created by the concrete factory.

The concrete class OReillyBookfactory extends AbstractBookFactory, and can create the OReillyMySQLBook and OReillyPHPBook classes, which are the correct classes for the context of OReilly.

Hi there,

This is an off topic comment. The home page is quite reasonable but when you go into each topic, it is so sloooow that to the point you want to quit.

I am a developer (see http://monpage.com) who would like to learn more about OOP. Thanks for website and hope that it would be a little more snappy next time I visit. :)
