Title: design patterns meeting tonight (8/30) - Template Method - 7pm at Sun Training Center (new location)

Sorry for the late notice.  Time got away from me.

We will be going over the Template Method pattern tonight. 

The author's footnote to Iterator explains that a method called "Traverse" in the Iterator example code is an example of a Template Method. This pattern also reenforces Strategy and Factory Method.* 

Here's the question for the Template Method:
The Template Method relies on inheritance. Would it be possible to get the same functionality of a Template Method, using object composition? What would some of the tradeoffs be?* 

The meeting will be at a new location, the Sun Learning Center, which is at
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
7000 Central Park, Suite 1270
Atlanta, GA 30328
