Proxy Pattern - Design Patterns (ep 10) 

The community is missing someone like you. 2023 and we still enjoy such 37 min in a row.

Dude I really like how you repeat every one of your definitons at least twice... The first time to hear it and the second time to rethink it! You are a great teacher!

"Instead of calling the THING you want to call you call the THING which call the THING you want !!" Nice definition, liked it!

00:01 The proxy pattern provides a surrogate or placeholder for another object to control access to it. 01:56 Proxy pattern is used to control access to resources and solve access-related problems. 06:01 Proxy pattern adds additional behavior to control access to the underlying object. 07:58 Using a virtual proxy allows for additional behavior before making calls to an object. 12:12 Using methods is a flexible approach that allows for future changes. 14:13 Premature optimization can lead to inefficient code 17:59 Proxy pattern allows deferring the instantiation of the underlying book parser 19:42 Proxy pattern is used to create expensive objects on demand rather than immediately. 23:23 Proxy pattern is used to control access to an expensive operation. 25:11 The proxy pattern controls access to the real subject and follows the same interface. 28:44 The proxy pattern involves a proxy class that acts as a placeholder for another class, known as the real subject. 30:17 Create an instance variable that defaults to null for Lazy Book Parser Proxy. 33:58 The proxy pattern delays the instantiation of a concrete book parser until it is needed. 35:44 The proxy pattern allows instantiation of the book parser only when required, improving performance.

Great video, but can you move ur camera slightly to the right next time so i can see the cat better? :P

My mood rises when I see new episode. Thanks a lot MAN!

Bruh!!, I watched this before my final and you made it super easy to understand. Hours of reading on this pattern were pointless. Crystal clear explanation. Keep it up and two thumbs up!

I'm reading the Head first design patterns book, I used to think that I already had a good understanding of OOP, but that book changed everything, I realized I just knew the name of the tools and maybe how they were written in java, but I had no idea how to use them, after learning about design patterns marked a new start for me. I came here to have some help with the Proxy pattern and you were awesome, thank you, now I'll go ahead and start reading the chapter about the proxy pattern in the book, keep it up man, you are a great teacher.

I was completely lost, and i had to understand and learn design patterns. i found this channel, and now i get it all. thanks for your time and effort Chris.

I really like the effort you give while explaining the concept. you are very good teacher. Hard to find teacher like you

The best Design Pattern playlist on RU-vid! Your explanation skills are very powerful...listening to you is funny and not boring! Thanks to you I'm gonna pass my exam on Design Pattern!

Great Job!! I have never seen any video that explains design patterns so clearly. Thank You for making my life easier to understand Design Patterns.

You are an effective and succinct communicator. You make learning infectious. Are you a professor or desiring to be? As online learning continues to become an educational alternative, and given the increasing university tuitions, online instructors like you are becoming a threat to the educational status quo. You have a gift and I believe it will take you very far in your career. EXCELSIOR!

This is by far the best explanation of the proxy pattern I've watched on youtube! Thank you!

Hi, I am a student from Taiwan, I really like your explanation, really help me a lot! Thanks!

We need more people like you! Everything I search on RU-vid for Object-oriented programming is either trival or just not helpful. Thanks to you I understood the patterns I needed to understand for my exam. Thanks!

open, smash 'like' button, watch - my algorithm for your videos. I call this pattern "gratitude". Thanks a lot for your great job!

Hey Christopher, Thank you very much for making these videos. I know they’re a lot of work. You teach the way I think. If that makes sense. Brilliant job!!!

I love your explanation that patterns have different intent even if implementation strategies match sometimes.

maan, I've been watching these videos and writing notes all day long. Thanks.

I just don't understand how do you manage to make it so simple... Thanks alot for this wonderful explanation... 😀

Bringing up the "Premature optimization" is brilliant 💡. Thanks!

Man, your examples, just make it so easy, it was a nightmares before i know this playlist, thank you

Hey Christopher, thanks for sharing these knowledge so generously, hope everything's well with you.

As usual amazing explanation Chris. Keep up the good work. Thanks a lot.

I am really upset i did not find your tutorials all these years on RU-vid when ever i searched for "design patterns with Java". But better late than never. Thanks dude.

Man I love your videos. You make things that were unclear to me looks like really super easy.

I had astigmatism and I started wearing new glasses. I was happy to see everything clear. Until I watched this video: D.Even so thanks for your informative video :)

Thanks Christopher for you detailed view on patterns.. I really find them very informative and like the simple way you have explained these topics. Keep the good work .. Way to go.. :)

I love your work. Thanks a lot. Please continue this series

Learnt first 10 design patterns and done for now. Will come back later, maybe during the 2nd half of 2020.

The one reason I keep coming here is that he keeps repeating what he is teaching. That really helps to understand the topic better. Great contents!

I completely lost track after that cute student walked into the class. :D

Excellent explanation! Thank you so much!

Chris, you're an awesome pedagogue !!! Thanks a lot !

114 likes, 0 dislike ... I'm really NOT surprise .. your explanations are perfect

quite interesting and explain in an abstract way. which make it more interesting. appreciated your efforts keep it up buddy..

Your content is really good tho. I can't wait to see what more interesting things you're going to bring to the channel!

Perfectly explained, thank you!

you really helped me during my exams. thanks bro

Very well explained. we love your lectures and your cat.

Thanks a lot! Christopher, it is the greate explanation, which I ever heart!

I really like your videos. Thanks a lot !!! They are really helpful!

Instead of book I prefer to watch this playlist again xD

Thank you, these videos are super informative!

you are AWSOME keep up the good work, it helped me so much. thank you

Your videos are fantastic and informative!

These videos are amazing. You should create a design pattern playlist for easier consumption

Thanks Christopher Great Explanation

brilliant mate, keep up the good work

It would have been pretty cool if you had talked a little bit about how virtual proxies can also override a client's method or property. This, in my opinion, makes virtual proxies super powerful (assuming, of course, that the language allows for it and that the client class has been defined appropriately) Thanks a lot for the great video!

Someone would say ANOTHER ONE! Great Job Dude!

Again nice explanation. Thank you for share your knowledge :)

Your explanation of concepts and examples are easy to understand! I even treat it as a kind of relaxation! Though I fell asleep for times in this episode (maybe just because I watched it after dinner...), I found I was still keeping up with the pace of the video :) Thank you so much!

You are a great teacher .....Love from India .

You very good explanation. I like it so much!

Christopher Okhravi, create more content. You explain very well and in depth !!

Great Video!!

Cool! This is the first video I saw from you, but I immediately subscribed.

Thanks very much for these videos and I love your cat! :)

Thanks for the easy-to-understand explanation & cat though 😀

Awesome content, thanks

awesome example . thanks alot!

Christopher, thanks a lot, very nice explanation :)

Thanks a lot for this amazing explanation 🤓

Nice explanation Christopher !

Great video. Very informative.

A Very very good explainer

Thanks for such a brilliant series on the design patterns. Would like to know more about improving application performance from developer's perspective, but in "Christopher Okhravian" style.

Great videos and explanations! Thank you very much. I was looking for an episode on the differences between facade, proxy and decorator patterns but couldn't find it. Maybe you'd be so kind to point to it. Thanks! P.S. Love it when your cat participates :)

Awesome as always, you are a very good teacher! Just a question: what about the GoF patterns which the book "Head first" doesn't explain? Are you going to make some videos about them? I hope so, it would be great :D

Good explanation MAN , thank you

Amazing video, thank you very much

great! Thank you!

Great video. Content and explanation were really useful, thanks! I know you mentioned the autofocus and are aware of it but just a suggestion: Perhaps avoid using autofocus all together? Use a deeper depth of field and set your focal point to 2/3rds of the distance from the whiteboard. After this is set, leave the focus for the entire video. There's no need for the camera to be constantly re-adjusting focus as you move your arm back and forth because that data is irrelevant to what the viewers need to see.

great video. Guess, who uses the proxy pattern heavily as you've said for the lazy initialization? of course, hibernate. When you declare explicitly that I'd like to have an object lazily initialized, hibernate obliges it by using proxy around it. So that ORM class is instantiated only when we 'really' want to do something on it, until then it is just hanging around there as a simple proxy class . Again, great video!

thanks a ton for this amazing video.................

Amazing explanation 😍 i love you

Congratulations and thaks to share!

Best examples of Proxy pattern are Mockery(mocked objects or services) as used in unit testing.

outstanding...I am great fan of you

Design pattern God. Thank you a lot!

A huge thanks to what your doing here. Bought the book and watching all your videos.. I get the proxy stuff and see the benefits. I am wondering about the caching. Do you have material/reference as to generically choose a caching methods? Being mostly PHP oriented I wonder about the duration of the url request cycle and I am fighting with this concept.

Thank you Chris, for amazing tutorials. Isn't this pattern very similar to singleton pattern, except that we create object on-demand through some method instead of constructor in singleton, or am I understanding this wrong?

A real case where I have seen a proxy being used was when our architect made the system into three layers, we had a lot of sensitive code that we didn't want to edit, so some of the classes of the core of the application became proxies to to the data access layer, which otherwise would have been nothing but duplicate code in a separate assembly

Hi Christopher, I must firstly say that you’re a great teacher. I’ve been feasting on your presentations on Design Patterns and enjoying every bit of it. I’ve looked at this particular tutorial 3 times but I couldn’t seem to grasp the concept properly then I found why: I think your example don’t quite fit the pattern. Here’s why: The base interface on the right, ie the Implementor needs to itself be a specialised form of the Abstraction hence the name Implementor. With this understanding the definition makes total sense “Decouple an abstraction from its implementation so that the two can vary independently”. In your example IResource would need to be a specialised version of View to fit the Bridge Pattern which makes no sense. My comment is not to take away from your work by the way, your work is awesome stuff. Let me know what you think. This is a really powerful pattern.

Well explained. Very clear. Now I understand the cat pattern... I mean proxy pattern.

Love this video

Very, very good video. Thanks, I hate how many video's are decent, but you cannot understand the person who is speaking. You anunciate very well and you do a great job of driving home a point.

Question: is it still appropriate to use proxy pattern when you own the original object implementation? It makes sense to proxy another library object to enhance or change it’s behavior. But does it make sense to proxy your own object that you could just modify instead of proxying? I know of the open-close principals. So proxying already existing object that I own the implementation of would obey the open-close principle but also would possibly create layers upon layers upon layers. Also, I’d like to hear more on dangers and gotchas of each pattern.

27:33 cute cat!!!

Group of Devs said design patterns are difficult till Christopher enters the room.

Hey Christopher , Thank you very much for this great video series . According to the code that you have mentioned at last it seems same to singleton pattern.(one time creation object) Can you please brief me how this proxy pattern is difference from singleton pattern ??

Great explanation :)

Cool teaching skills i must say

Man i'm here now, and with your help i'm trying to learn the design patterns. Just for info you talk so fast also with 0.75 play speed😂. Great work dude!

Man you're a beast! don't know how to say thanks man. well, THANKS

Hello Christopher, I like your videos and the way you explain it...I have been following your videos for my better understanding abt DP....Can I request you about including real business scenario where we can implement these DP's...Please have a 10 min of slot in your video abt telling us real scenarios where we can implement this DP....

Thanks for explaining proxy with such ease to understand. I have one thing in my mind that is LazyBookParserProxy is not thread safe while creating instance of RealBookParser, we may end up having multiple RealParser

Awesome job! And the cat!
