	Creational Pattern - Builder
		It is a pattern for step-by-step creation of a complex object so that the same construction process can create different representations is the routine in the builder pattern that also makes for finer control over the construction process.
		Builder has a similar motivation to the abstract factory but, whereas in that pattern, the client uses the abstract factory class methods to create its own object, in Builder the client instructs the builder class on how to create the object and then asks it for the result.
		The Builder pattern is applicable when the algorithm for creating a complex object should be independent of the parts that make up the object and how they are assembled and the construction process must allow different representations for the object thats constructed.

	Builder Patterns in C# (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
		Builder is an object creational design pattern that codifies the construction process outside of the actual steps that carries out the construction - thus allowing the construction process itself to be reused.
		Another example for Builder pattern is a Computer Assembly.
		Since each builder constructs the final product step by step, we have more control over the final product that a builder constructs.

		The Filter pattern is a special case of the Decorator pattern, where a data source or data sink object is wrapped to add logic to the handling of a data stream.
		The Composite pattern also allows the objects in the tree to be manipulated in a consistent manner, by requiring all of the objects in the tree to have a common superclass or interface.
		The Flyweight pattern is often combined with the Composite pattern to represent the leaf nodes of a hierarchical structure with shared objects.

	Builder
		The "builder" creates part of the complex object each time it is called and maintains all intermediate state.
		The Builder pattern separates the construction of a complex object from its representation so that the same construction process can create different representations.
		Builder returns the product as a final step, but as far as the Abstract Factory is concerned, the product gets returned immediately.

		Solution The solution proposed by Builder Pattern is to see the XML Parser as a director, which sends events to a builder, that is a handler that is expected to interpret each event as a step in the construction of a product, the QuadTree.
		Structure In the general structure of the Builder Pattern, as originally explained in the Gang of Four book, the Director is a generic name for any class in charge of sending prime matter to the Builder; similarly, the API between director and builder is characterized with a generalized buildPart() method.
		Figure 9.3 SAX Builder by Inheritance In this, the most common case, you must write the builder from scratch and the idea behind using a Builder interface is to be able to exchange it in the future with others like it.

	Gamma/GoF Builder Pattern Metaphor
		As long as Builders are trained so that they can be directed in a standard manner, the Director is able to ensure they do the building using a standard procedure.
		The pattern is used when a client needs to build different, related, classes using a consistent procedure.
		Builder is about choosing a single class from several related classes (usually, but not always, having a common parent class).

		Pattern Builder is based on a lot of the lessons I learned from Shlaer-Mellor, which is now known as xtUML.
		But one thing that hasn't made its way into Pattern Builder yet is the juicy kernel that I found in Z. Now is the time to introduce invariants and pre- and post-conditions into the tool.
		Pattern Builder is an attempt sneak the model-and-generate mentality in through the back door, by sidling up to the programmers with a free tool and introducing them to joys of not having to write all those tedious little bits of infrastructure code that make up 90% of an application.

	Introduction to Design Patterns in Delphi
		The most important class attributes from a pattern perspective are the basic inheritance of classes; virtual and abstract methods; and use of protected and public scope.
		This pattern is ideal where you want to isolate your application from the implementation of the concrete classes.
		This pattern is useful when you want to encapsulate the construction of a class and isolate knowledge of the concrete class from the client application through an abstract interface.

		The builder pattern is used to construct such an object piece by piece.
		The default concrete builder is SAXHandler, which creates a tree of elements and data.
		Thus the builder pattern would be supporting an MVC architecture, with the director acting as the controller and the builder (and its product) acting as the model.

	Pattern Discussions
		Like the Abstract Factory pattern, the Builder pattern requires that you define an interface, which will be used by clients to create complex objects in pieces.
		The Singleton pattern is often paired with the Abstract Factory pattern.
		For non-creational pattern, Façade may be used with Singleton pattern in case one single instance of interface to a set of interfaces in the subsystem is needed.

	Builder pattern - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		A software design pattern, the builder pattern is used to enable the creation of a variety of complex objects from one source object.
		This object would be passed to a simple Director object that would iterate through each piece of data in the main message of the source object.
		If there was a desire to replace the encryption technique of the enigmaBuilder with another one, a new Builder class could be substituted with little change to the director and main code since the only change would be the actual Builder object that would be given to the Director.

		The role of the director is to feed the builder with the raw material.
		In this case the Director may hold the model or the data with which the builder will be fed and also, the director will control the construction process through the builder.
		The Builder pattern does exactly that: the Director defines the sequence of actions, the Builder how each action is executed.

	Builder - A Design Pattern
		The Builder is the abstract interface that allows the Director to do its work on the Concrete Builder.
		The Concrete Builder assembles all the parts as instructed, creates the representation through these parts and holds an instance of it until it is retrieved.
		This means that once a Builder pattern is implemented, say in a framework, the client requires solely to run 4 lines of code (2 to create instances, 1 to start the process, and 1 to retrieve the result) to get the desired result.

	Recursive Builder Pattern
		Therefore, use the Command pattern, and pass the builder a Command object which builds the internals of a given part of the structure.
		In that case, the builder would return child nodes to the director, which then would pass them back to the builder to build the parent nodes.
		In the common case, the products produced by the concrete builders differ so greatly in their representation that there is little to gain from giving different products a common parent class.

	Build and Command Objects—Using Design Patterns
		Builder can be used to check data in the Value Object and modify it, before it reaches the client tier.
		Observer pattern is beyond the scope of this article, but anyone who used modern listeners should be familiar with its concept.
		For example, this pattern is often used in GUIs where a menu item object can be connected with different Commands in such a way that the menu item object does not need to know any details of how action is performed.

	SENG 609.04 Design Patterns: Paper
		The Factory Method pattern is most used to implement AbstractFactory classes because it is simple and easy to understand and implement, while the Prototype pattern makes the Abstract Factory more flexible by dynamically creating the product objects and more compact by reducing the hierarchy of the concrete factory subclasses.
		The Builder pattern also decouples the construction and representation of a complex object so that concrete builders can be reused by different directors to build various product from the same set of components.
		The Prototype pattern is especially successful in solving such problems: a class belongs to a framework, and it want to access instances of the application-specific classes in a hierarchy that it has no idea (and should not know) what they actually look like.

	Creational Patterns - Builder Pattern
		Builder, as the name suggests builds complex objects from simple ones step-by-step.
		The Builder pattern hides the internal details of how the product is built.
		Because, each builder builds the final product step by step, we have more control on the final product.

	Builder Pattern
		What I am wondering is whether patterns have been explored that reverse some of the steps from a BuilderPattern.
		In other words, modifying the composite built by a builder by performing the reverse of some of the steps used to build it.
		If every structure you build needs to be able to support un-building and re-building, you might want to incorporate suitable mementoes into the components of the structure themselves, recording (in addition to whatever else they store) their sequence of incorporation, for example.

	Thoughts and Fragments: Constructing View objects with the Builder pattern
		The way I understand the GoF’s idea behind the Builder pattern is to have a generic build process, that calls a number of operations on an abstract product (or view, in your case).
		Even if we did know the type that the builder was responsible for constructing, the service layer uses the builders to build the objects but then returns the marker interface.
		All the implementations I have seen of the builder pattern, have been to construct objects that have the same functionality (They all implement an interface that does something).

	The builder pattern
		It is a pattern for step-by-step creation of a complex object so that the same construction process can create different representations.
		It is the routine in the builder pattern that also makes for finer control over the construction process.
		The director then creates an apartment (Concrete Builder) if the blnBackyard is false or a single family home (Concrete Builder) if the blnBackyard is true (both of them implements IHouse interface) and returns IHouse (Abstract Builder) Interface.

		A solution is to configure the RTFReader class (Director in the thumbnail) with a TextConverter object (Builder in the thumbnail) that converts RTF to another textual representation.
		Each converter class is called a "builder" in the pattern, and the reader is called the "director." Applied to this example, the Builder pattern separates the algorithm for interpreting a textual format (that is, the parser for RTF documents) from how a converted format gets created and represented.
		ACM Press.) Builder is a common pattern in Smalltalk-80.
