I realized there are many design patterns I could talk about, but I want to ask which ones I should focus on, either based upon the easiest to illustrate, or those which would be the most useful to know about.

Candidates I've found so far (some of which we've already covered, so I'll only briefly mention them):

Creational Patterns

• Abstract Factory - Creates an instance of several families of classes
• Builder - Separates object construction from its representation
• Factory Method - Creates an instance of several derived classes
• Prototype - A fully initialized instance to be copied or cloned
• Singleton - A class of which only a single instance can exist

Structural Patterns

• Adapter - Match interfaces of different classes
• Bridge - Separates an object’s interface from its implementation
• Composite - A tree structure of simple and composite objects
• Decorator - Add responsibilities to objects dynamically
• Facade - A single class that represents an entire subsystem
• Flyweight - A fine-grained instance used for efficient sharing
• Proxy - An object representing another object

Behavioral Patterns

• Chain of Responsibility - A way of passing a request between a chain of objects
• Command - Encapsulate a command request as an object
• Interpreter - A way to include language elements in a program
• Iterator - Sequentially access the elements of a collection
• Mediator - Defines simplified communication between classes
• Memento - Capture and restore an object's internal state
• Observer - A way of notifying change to a number of classes
• State - Alter an object's behavior when its state changes
• Strategy - Encapsulates an algorithm inside a class
• Template Method - Defer the exact steps of an algorithm to a subclass
• Visitor - Defines a new operation to a class without change

Functional Patterns

• Function passing
• Filters and pipes
• Accumulators
• Memoization
• Immutability
• Lazy instantiation

If devs want to include videos, they should be kept to ~2 min max.
