A Modern, Compact Implementation of the Parameterized Factory Design Pattern article at https://bit.ly/2QX8t9C
from the jot.fm January -February 2010 article abstract. Description, design and example implementation by Harold Fortuin, Principal, Fortuitous Consulting Services, Inc.:
I propose a modern OO language update of the Parameterized Factory Creational Pattern [Gamma95]. It is compact since it folds the Factory method into an abstract base class, and imposes a package structure on its concrete subclasses. The design is demonstrated in Java, but is also applicable to C# and other modern object-oriented languages.
