Software Design Patterns

In software engineering, a design pattern is a general repeatable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software design. 

A design pattern isn't a finished design that can be transformed directly into code. It is a description or template for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations.

Often, people only understand how to apply certain software design techniques to certain problems. These techniques are difficult to apply to a broader range of problems. Design patterns provide general solutions, document in a format that doesn't require specifics tied to a particular problem.

Difference between Http and Https

The main difference between http:// and https:// ..

It's all about keeping you secure...

The S  stands for "Secure". If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://.

This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecure' language. In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site.

But if the web address begins with https://, that basically means your computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.
