Overview
Learn the fundamentals of Object-Oriented design by investigating good—and bad—code!
Well-designed applications run more efficiently, have fewer bugs, and are easier to revise and maintain. Using an engaging “before-and-after” approach, Object-Oriented Software Design in C++ shows you exactly what bad software looks like and how to fix it with good design principles and patterns.
In Object-Oriented Software Design in C++, you’ll find:
Object-Oriented Software Design in C++ is a vital guide to building the kind of high performance applications delivered by the pros—all using industry-proven design principles and patterns. You’ll learn how to gather and analyze requirements so you’re building exactly what your client is looking for, backtrack mistakes with iterative development, and build a toolbox of design patterns that troubleshoot common issues with application architecture. The book’s accessible examples are written in C++ 17, but its universal principles can be applied to any object-oriented language.
About the Technology
Good design is the foundation of great software. Mastering the principles of object-oriented design is the surest way to create applications that run fast, have few bugs, and last well into the future. Written especially for new C++ programmers, this easy-to-read book gently mentors you in the art of designing great software.
About the Book
Object-Oriented Software Design in C++ introduces object-oriented design principles, practices, and patterns in clear, jargon-free language. The instantly-familiar before-and-after examples highlight the benefits of good design. Each chapter is full of friendly conversations that anticipate your questions and help point out the subtleties you might overlook. Along the way, you’ll pick up tips about idiomatic C++ style that will set your code apart.
