Recap: Where part 1 left off

1. Observer pattern – Let code react, not poll

Ruby on Rails example – Domain event with subscribers

2. Command pattern – Turn actions into objects

Ruby on Rails example – SendWelcomeEmailCommand

Ruby on Rails example – PaymentFacade

4. Composite pattern – Work with trees as one

Ruby Example – Nested menu structure

5. Proxy Pattern – Add Behavior Around Access

Ruby example – Caching proxy for an external API
