Interface and Composition Design
Composition goes beyond the mechanics of type embedding and is more than just a paradigm. It is the key for maintaining stability in your software by having the ability to adapt to the data and transformation changes that are coming.
Notes
- This is much more than the mechanics of type embedding.
- Declare types and implement workflows with composition in mind.
- Understand the problem you are trying to solve first. This means understanding the data.
- The goal is to reduce and minimize cascading changes across your software.
- Interfaces provide the highest form of composition.

Exercise 1
Using the template, declare a set of concrete types that implement the set of predefined interface types. Then create values of these types and use them to complete a set of predefined tasks.
