Thanks Gui. Loved the (dynamic)this hint. It makes perfect sense and is so simple (now that I've seen it)

@gui.ferreira Год назад

Great to hear, John! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

Very good explanation, thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great video. I think the strategy pattern may be a better fit for this example but visitor is still great. You are making great c# content. Keep up the good work

@gui.ferreira Год назад

Thanks! I think the Strategy Pattern can solve the same problem but doesn't give you the same benefits as the Visitor when you have a Composite. Thanks for the kind words, Tristan!

The visitor is an attempt to implement a functional pattern in an OO language. But C# is getting more functional so now the visitor pattern can elegantly be replaced by pattern-matching expressions.

Nice video. I have never used the pattern, but I will keep my eyes open. I like the dynamic type hint for the base class

@gui.ferreira Год назад

Glad you liked it 🙏 In fact, it's rarely used but it's good to know how it works.

Hi Gui, do you have a video going through your IDE setup (themes, fonts, extensions)? If not, I think you should make one. What font are you using in this video?

@gui.ferreira Год назад

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure if I want to do a video on this channel about it, but I will try to find a way to have that information out there. Regarding the Font, on the video, I'm using JetBrains Mono.

This was brilliant.

@gui.ferreira Год назад

Thank you 🙏

Hi Gui, can you tell me what IDE are you using?

@gui.ferreira Год назад

Hey Francisco! JetBrains Rider.

@ilovepandaypoe6056 10 месяцев назад

real world scenario, all those permutations will be stored in the database? so need really to create many classes?

@gui.ferreira 10 месяцев назад

You don't need to apply the visitor design pattern to domain or DB objects. It's a useful pattern for things like parsing or formatting

@HizusHiz 8 месяцев назад

Still doesn't make sense for c# because you can use pattern matching which will be faster.

@vitek0585 Год назад

As option the extension methods for the particular type can replace this pattern

@gui.ferreira Год назад

Not that you can't do it in other ways in C#, but even then, it's not an "apples to apples" comparison.

@asusvenus Год назад

Great content. Although, I think its way too zoomed in

@gui.ferreira Год назад

That's great feedback! Thanks! I've been using Presentation mode lately. I will revisit it 😉

The problem with the visitor pattern is fundamental. It breaks readability. It lacks domain understanding. To "Visit" isn't a verb with meaning.

@ppg68 4 дня назад

While I agree, I find the idea of isolating the Methods into Objects quite useful, you only have to modify the code in one class without breaking anything else

@jeffg4686 4 дня назад

@@ppg68 - I'm needs based. I never really found a need for this pattern. And when I see it used, it's never relevant, reads horrible, and fails to convince me that I need it. Just like the bridge pattern. Things start getting too pattern happy after a while...
