Many a times I have wondered about Design Patterns. I thought it was a complex subject and it needs more stuff to understand them. But eventually out of my experience I have understood that Design Patterns are something which we use them in our day-to-day activities. All the above mean in particular with programming and that too in .NET. Several years before I created a website which hosted all my funny and interesting emails. I had used some design patterns in them. On later stage I came to know that I have used MVC Pattern, Factory Pattern and Singleton Pattern in the website.
As of now almost everything in programming follows a design pattern which helps a lot when it comes to complex programming. All the developers to some extent might be aware of the Object Oriented Programming. But it would be the best if they are able understand the real life problems that they face with OOP. Design Patterns come to rescue over solving some complex issues with ease.
For a long time Design Patterns are in the safe lockers of Architects. Now an awareness was found among the developers to concentrate more on Design Patterns. I was trying to google around an was able to see lots of information about design patterns. I would like to list a few of them for your reference.

Also you can find more than I have listed. I hope this post might find you interesting to have a look into design patterns if you have not looked into it yet.
