+# Factory Method Pattern
+
+Factory method creational design pattern allows creating objects without having
+to specify the exact type of the object that will be created.
+
+## Implementation
+
+The example implementation shows how to provide a data store with different
+backends such as in-memory, disk storage.
+
+### Types
+
+```go
+package data
+
+import "io"
+
+type Store interface {
+    Open(string) (io.ReadWriteCloser, error)
+}
+```
+
+### Different Implementations
+
+```go
+package data
+
+type StorageType int
+
+const (
+    DiskStorage StorageType = 1 << iota
+    TempStorage
+    MemoryStorage
+)
+
+func NewStore(t StorageType) Store {
+    switch t {
+    case MemoryStorage:
+        return newMemoryStorage( /*...*/ )
+    case DiskStorage:
+        return newDiskStorage( /*...*/ )
+    default:
+        return newTempStorage( /*...*/ )
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+With the factory method, the user can specify the type of storage they want.
+
+```go
+s, _ := data.NewStore(data.MemoryStorage)
+f, _ := s.Open("file")
+
+n, _ := f.Write([]byte("data"))
+defer f.Close()
+```
