An article about the techniques to pour reusable design (a design pattern) into reusable code with an example of the observer pattern.
// Observer_Demo.cpp : Defines the class behaviors for the application.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Observer_Demo.h"
#include "Observer_DemoDlg.h"

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif

	CMainDlg dlg;

	int nResponse = dlg.DoModal();
	if (nResponse == IDOK)
