Key benefits

  • 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 limitation imposed by C++ and how to solve them using design patterns

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.

Who is this book 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.

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

It's a good book if you are trying to improve your C++ skills. This book contains modern C++ strategies to work on your skills. This book is not for beginners, one should have knowledge of C++ and practicing C++. This book talks about approximately every data structure of C++. Along with improving your current practices you will learn new things of C++ 17. I highly recommend this book to someone who is actively practicing their C++ skills in their jobs.

Design patterns are not generally easy to understand, especially if you’re starting out. However, this book with the way it builds on examples in a top-down approach is about the easiest way of learning them I have found. Additionally, the examples slowly help an intermediate or junior developer start to use more advance techniques quickly. Fedor is a master at performance (just watch some of his talks) and so the whole book has that as a guiding force.The two sections of the book give a nice gentle introduction to some of the basics in C++ with and advance twist. For example, using Templates. I was never a template fan, in general they aren’t difficult once you get a feel for them, but the initial bite can be tough. Fedor’s book makes it far easier, including helping you understand where to apply them.The structure of the book though top-down still allows you to quickly jump to specific sections to learn what you need right now. I like this because on one hand, if working through and advance topic it’s easy to see how things are built off one another, but you can still get where you need quickly. Compared to other C++ books that are more encyclopedia like and have you jumping around, this makes for a more usable text.Fedors examples and explanations are excellent. They are concise, yet easy to follow. If you take the time to work through them, it will improve your understanding of the content.

You might think that this is another one of those “design patterns” books that contain encyclopedic design patterns but have little information on how to implement them into your code. However, this book is different. The author has chosen widely used patterns in modern C++ designs and shows how they are implemented and when they should be used. So you will see many examples (as the book title suggests: this is a “hands-on” book). I like the way the author explains the problems by showing code snippets (as Linus Torvalds’ quote goes: “show me the code”).What I like most about the book is the way the author walks the reader step by step into the depth. Unlike other design pattern books, this book doesn’t start by talking about design patterns directly. Instead, the author lays out the necessary (C++) basis first and then applies them later to the design examples. Even for the “basis”, the author talks about them in great depth that you may not be able to find in other C++ programming books. As an experienced C++ programmer, I found this to be a bonus point of the book because it answers a lot of WHYs that I’ve been wondering about for years (have you ever been curious how type erasure is implemented in C++?).One thing worth mentioning is that this book is not for C++ beginners (I don’t think any design pattern books should be for beginner programmers though). It requires a certain level of C++ knowledge to understand. But the good thing is that the author recommended C++ programming books in each chapter in case the reader needs help understanding the example code.This book is definitely in my personal book library!

This book is great for anyone who has base knowledge of C++ and wants to learn me details. It covers many topics and idioms that people should know about older C++ (pre C++11) as well as current best practices. It has great examples and covers a good list design patterns to help transition a C++ engineer to a more modern C++ one.Most chapters start with the basics of a topic and build on that to teach the more complicated bits while sprinkling nuggets of truth and reasoning for why a language construct works that particular way. The author then tends to end a chapter on how the focused idiom or design pattern applies in the C++20 environment before providing a nice concise summary of the chapter.I like how the author included actual Google Benchmark results for many of the examples to show how the C++ idioms perform when compared to each other. These will be of great value as caparison reference material when evaluating which to use in practical situations. He also put some links to the Cpp Core Guidelines documentation where applicable.Some chapters tend to jump from example to example to example without breaking up into some subsection. Maybe it is a personal preference but I tend to learn better when there are shorter smaller subsections delineated with some bold subheading.An excellent book overall.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
