+# Abstract Factory Pattern
+
+The [abstract factory design pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_factory_pattern) provides an interface for creating families of releated objects
+
+# Implementation and Example
+
+An example with implementation and usage can be found in [abstract-factory.go](abstract-factory.go).
