Behavioral Design Patterns in C++ - TextPad - I

This lecture builds on the previous one by implementing the command design pattern in a new example. The instructor creates a notepad-like application where users can perform text editing operations via a console-based menu. The lecture emphasizes decoupling the menu from the application to adhere to the single responsibility principle, allowing for a reusable menu class. The instructor also introduces a wrapper for Windows APIs to simplify text property changes.
