Software Design in C++

This practical guide shows experienced C++ developers how to build scalable, secure, and cloud-native software systems by applying architectural principles, modern design patterns, and deployment techniques that reflect real-world challenges.

Design patterns is a library of reusable components designed for software architecture, not for concrete implementation. In this book, you'll learn to recognize and apply various C++ design patterns and idioms. In this second edition, you'll gain a deep understanding of design patterns and become empowered to create robust, reusable, and maintainable code.

Templates are a key feature of the C++ language that enable us to reuse source code, write more efficient code, and create generic libraries that can be used in many applications. Yet, they are often complex and hard to understand. This book will help you in understanding and writing templates from their simplest forms to the latest C++20 features.

This book covers the most important software development techniques, libraries, and utilities unique to C++ that every C++ developer can use to refactor their code base. This will simplify development, enabling you to create performant apps.

This book focuses on teaching you how to use tests to improve the design of future projects. Using TDD will help you design code that is easy to understand, runs without crashing, does what it's supposed to do with fewer bugs, and can be changed as needed. Implementing this method using this book will make your code seem more intuitive because you'll learn how to write it first from a user's viewpoint.
