Key benefits

  • Design scalable large-scale applications with the C++ programming language
  • Architect software solutions in a cloud-based environment with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)
  • Achieve architectural goals by leveraging design patterns, language features, and useful tools

Description

Software architecture refers to the high-level design of complex applications. It is evolving just like the languages we use, but there are architectural concepts and patterns that you can learn to write high-performance apps in a high-level language without sacrificing readability and maintainability. If you're working with modern C++, this practical guide will help you put your knowledge to work and design distributed, large-scale apps. You'll start by getting up to speed with architectural concepts, including established patterns and rising trends, then move on to understanding what software architecture actually is and start exploring its components. Next, you'll discover the design concepts involved in application architecture and the patterns in software development, before going on to learn how to build, package, integrate, and deploy your components. In the concluding chapters, you'll explore different architectural qualities, such as maintainability, reusability, testability, performance, scalability, and security. Finally, you will get an overview of distributed systems, such as service-oriented architecture, microservices, and cloud-native, and understand how to apply them in application development. By the end of this book, you'll be able to build distributed services using modern C++ and associated tools to deliver solutions as per your clients' requirements.

Who is this book for?

This software architecture C++ programming book is for experienced C++ developers looking to become software architects or develop enterprise-grade applications.

What you will learn

  • Understand how to apply the principles of software architecture
  • Apply design patterns and best practices to meet your architectural goals
  • Write elegant, safe, and performant code using the latest C++ features
  • Build applications that are easy to maintain and deploy

It's hard to write books on software design and architecture. Many design books are filled with general principles and platitudes, while others cover mostly coding techniques (useful but falls short of the architecture level). This book skillfully threads the middle ground: it is firmly rooted in practical software development, but the discussion inevitably raises to the level of the general practices and architecture.The overall emphasis is definitely on "effective concepts," but it's not a dry reading. Every chapter presents a realistic problem and discusses effective programming practices, coding techniques, and design guidelines.While the software architecture, in general, is language-agnostic, the practical nature of this book means that the authors select concepts and practices that best map onto the paradigms and constructs available in the C++ language. Overall, I highly recommend this book for any C++ programmer.

If you purchase this book hoping for a 'how to' guide with lots of c++ code, you may be disappointed. There is actually not much code examples in the book.Therefore my headline: it's about the architecture. This book summarises the best known patterns, idioms, and practices in system design. The first chapters give a thorough revision of basic principles like SOLID, coupling, cohesion, monolith or service based architecture, etc. Many third party products and external c++ libraries are mentioned to design modern c++ systems in line with current practices. If you fell behind with system design and wish to catch up, or are new to it and need a great overview of the field, this book will be of great value.The authors cover a lot of material. The book does not go in depth on each of the many topics. The authors make the reader aware that a design principle, product, library or technique exists, and provide links to more information in a further reading section at the end of each chapter.Highly recommended reading as a reference guide or introduction to c++ system design.

This book is full of useful modern practices when it comes to distributed systems development, continuous integration/deployment, testing, and some of the modern language features that come with C++20. The organization I work within doesn't use a lot of the STL, which is where quite a bit of C++20 gets its power, and my background and experience hover around the C++11 era. However the other parts about cloud-native design, CI/CD, microservices, etc. are very useful to anybody who is building a large system in C++ and wants to take advantage of some of the paradigms not typically associated with C++ development.

Software Architecture with C++This book covers the concepts and components of a software architecture using C++ as the language of design. It covers the topics a software architect needs to consider when designing a complete software solution – at a high level. It does not go into these topics in great depth, but it does give the kernel concepts in enough detail. No single book would be able to cover all this material in great detail. The usefulness of the book is as a consolidated guide of topics and where to go for more information.The book provides references for where to go to find out more detail on the various topics: books, websites, code repositories, etc.In addition to the resource information, there are some interesting snippets of C++ code illustrating design principles. I would have liked it if there were more coding examples, but overall, Software Architecture with C++ is a valuable addition to the architect’s library. It will serve as a good place to look first to find a design/principal, and then provide further resources to explore and research the ideas in depth.
