<?php

/**
* Observer pattern
*
* Purpose:
* to implement a publish/subscribe behaviour to an object, whenever a "Subject" object changes it's state, the attached
* "Observers" will be notified. It is used to shorten the amount of coupled objects and uses loose coupling instead
*
* Examples:
* - a message queue system is observed to show the progress of a job in a GUI
*
* PHP already defines two interfaces that can help to implement this pattern: SplObserver and SplSubject
*
