+## Also known as
+
+* Simple Factory
+* Static Factory Method
+
+## Intent
+
+Providing a static method encapsulated in a class called factory, in order to hide the implementation logic and makes client code focus on usage rather then initialization new objects.
+
+## Explanation
+
+Real world example
+
+> Lets say we have a web application connected to SQLServer, but now we want to switch to Oracle. To do so without modifying existing source code, we need to implements Simple Factory pattern, in which a static method can be invoked to create connection to a given database.
+
+Wikipedia says
+
+> Factory is an object for creating other objects – formally a factory is a function or method that returns objects of a varying prototype or class.
+
+**Programmatic Example**
+
+We have an interface "Car" and tow implementations "Ford" and "Ferrari".
+
+```java
+/**
+ * Car interface.
+ */
+public interface Car {
+  
+  public String getDescription();
+  
+}
+
+/**
+ * Ford implementation.
+ */
+public class Ford implements Car {
+
+  static final String DESCRIPTION = "This is Ford.";
+
+  @Override
+  public String getDescription() {
+    return DESCRIPTION;
+  }
+}
+
+/**
+ * Ferrari implementation.
+ */
+public class Ferrari implements Car {
+   
+  static final String DESCRIPTION = "This is Ferrari.";
+
+  @Override
+  public String getDescription() {
+    return DESCRIPTION;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Then we have the static method "getCar" to create car objects encapsulated in the factory class "CarSimpleFactory".
+
+```java
+/**
+ * Factory of cars.
+ */
+public class CarSimpleFactory {
+  
+  /**
+   * Enumeration for different types of cars.
+   */
+  static enum CarType {
+    FORD, FERRARI
+  }
+  
+  /**
+   * Factory method takes as parameter a car type and initiate the appropriate class.
+   */
+  public static Car getCar(CarType type) {
+    switch (type) {
+      case FORD: return new Ford();
+      case FERRARI: return new Ferrari();
+      default: throw new IllegalArgumentException("Model not supported.");
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Now on the client code we can create differentes types of cars(Ford or Ferrari) using the factory class.
+
+```java
+Car car1 = CarSimpleFactory.getCar(CarSimpleFactory.CarType.FORD);
+Car car2 = CarSimpleFactory.getCar(CarSimpleFactory.CarType.FERRARI);
+LOGGER.info(car1.getDescription());
+LOGGER.info(car2.getDescription());
+```
+
+Program output:
+
+```java
+This is Ford.
+This Ferrari.
+```
+## Applicability
+
+Use the Simple Factory pattern when you only care about the creation of a object, not how to create and manage it.
+
+## Disadvantages:
+
+The code becomes more complicated than it should be.
