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.

What you will learn

Recognize the most common design patterns used in C++

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.

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.

I came across Fedor in CPPNOW conference and was impressed by his deep knowledge in C++ and willing to share. Since then, I have read Fedor's 1st edition of his C++ Design Pattern book and in the middle of reading the 2nd edition.I highly recommend this book to intermediate and above C++ programmers, who wants an elevate in designing robust and extendable softwares. Even though design pattern is usually universal to all programming languages, as a C++ expert, Fedor's book mainly focuses on using C++ and it's latest language features as examples to walk readers through these important design patterns.I like the 2nd edition more than the 1st edition in that:- Code examples are organized better. All code examples have index(name) so it’s easier to find the corresponding code in the online repo.- Included C++ 20 features, such as concepts in SFINAE and subsequent chapters such as CRTP. In the meanwhile, Fedor didn't forget to also mention earlier language features as a retrospect.- Chapters cross reference each other more. i.e. CRTP references a lot of Policy based design. This gives reader much more insight and find synergy when reading different chapters.- The book is organized in a natural learning order by throwing out a question, and walk through a "natural" thinking way of solving it.- It covers a lot of details that can be practical. I really like Strategy and Policy based design pattern chapters. These were more advanced features to me in the past, but with this book, I am more confident to use these features more often.To make it more useful, I would recommend adding a section right before or after the "Summary" section in each chapter using bullet points to summarize the different scenarios such design pattern could be used. This is usually mentioned throughout the chapters, but bullet point summary of the scenarios/use-cases would be helpful/time-saving when reading the book for the second time.

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!
