Cocoa Design Patterns

Many of the architectures and mechanisms of the Cocoa environment make effective use of design patterns: abstract designs that solve recurring problems in a particular context. This chapter describes the major implementations of design patterns in Cocoa, focusing in particular on Model-View-Controller and object modeling. Its main purpose is to give you a greater awareness of design patterns in Cocoa and encourage you to take advantage of these patterns in your own software projects.
