A delegate is a special type, where you can store a reference to a function. With delegates you change the way how you work, and somehow reverse it. Give it a function, and after that you give if the requested values for that function, and process it.

First an overview of the application we are going to build in this post:

• An application to create a traffic light who changes his colour
• Easy expandable
• Future equipped (easy to add changes)
• Object Oriented
• With the Observer Pattern
