Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Key Features

• Delve into the core patterns and components of C++ to master application design
• Learn tricks, techniques, and best practices to solve common design and architectural challenges
• Understand the limitations imposed by C++ and how to solve them using design patterns

Book Description

C++ is a general-purpose programming language designed for efficiency, performance, and flexibility. Design patterns are commonly accepted solutions to well-recognized design problems. In essence, they are a library of reusable components, only for software architecture, and not for a concrete implementation. 

This book helps you focus on the design patterns that naturally adapt to your needs, and on the patterns that uniquely benefit from the features of C++. Armed with the knowledge of these patterns, you'll spend less time searching for solutions to common problems and tackle challenges with the solutions developed from experience. You'll also explore that design patterns are a concise and efficient way to communicate, as patterns are a familiar and recognizable solution to a specific problem and can convey a considerable amount of information with a single line of code. 

By the end of this book, you'll have a deep understanding of how to use design patterns to write maintainable, robust, and reusable software.

What you will learn

• Recognize the most common design patterns used in C++
• Understand how to use C++ generic programming to solve common design problems
• Explore the most powerful C++ idioms, their strengths, and their drawbacks
• Rediscover how to use popular C++ idioms with generic programming
• Discover new patterns and idioms made possible by language features of C++17 and C++20
• Understand the impact of design patterns on the program's performance

Who this book is for

This book is for experienced C++ developers and programmers who wish to learn about software design patterns and principles and apply them to create robust, reusable, and easily maintainable programs and software systems.
