A comprehensive guide with extensive coverage on concepts such as OOP, functional programming, generic programming, and STL along with the latest features of C++

Key Features

Delve into the core patterns and components of C++ in order 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

Book Description

C++ is a general-purpose programming language designed with the goals of efficiency, performance, and flexibility in mind. 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.

The focus of this book is on the design patterns that naturally lend themselves to the needs of a C++ programmer, and on the patterns that uniquely benefit from the features of C++, in particular, the generic programming. Armed with the knowledge of these patterns, you will spend less time searching for a solution to a common problem and be familiar with the solutions developed from experience, as well as their advantages and drawbacks. The other use of design patterns is as a concise and an efficient way to communicate. A pattern is a familiar and instantly recognizable solution to specific problem; through its use, sometimes with a single line of code, we can convey a considerable amount of information. The code conveys: "This is the problem we are facing, these are additional considerations that are most important in our case; hence, the following well-known solution was chosen."

By the end of this book, you will have gained a comprehensive understanding of design patterns to create robust, reusable, and maintainable code.

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 drawbacks
Rediscover how to use popular C++ idioms with generic programming
Understand the impact of design patterns on the program's performance

The new look at the old patterns

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

The book covers the most important topics of modern C++: RAII, memory ownership, SFINAE, CRTP, Scope Guard, etc. It begins with explaining C++ tricks in generics in the first part of the book. The second logical part reviews the traditional C++ patterns (that were described in the classical «Design Patterns – Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software»). The Fedor’s goal is to improve them by the newest C++ 11/14/17 features.
The author made the great work: his explanation is clear and accurate. The examples are short and extremely focused on specific topics.
In my opinion, the book is in the same area as the Andrei Alexandrescu's book, named "Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied", but the Fedor's book is the newest one and much close to a regular developer.

Very nice book for the developers having intermediate skills in OOPS Concepts

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2023

Book is covered with some basic concepts like Inheritance, Polymorphism, Named arguments, method cascading, error handling, function templates and provided code snippets help extending the practice. Along with the above mentioned core topics, advanced topics like Adapters and Policy-based designs are well demonstrated with basic coding algorithms.

It would be nice to add a problem solving questions at the end of the each topic along with the theory questions. Which will help developers to practice the topic and solve the problems before moving to the next topic.

Doesn’t provides the big picture as GOF does

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

Maybe it would be the book for those who can see the program with the big architectural insight, and needs small detail for the specific way that modern C++ only provides. However, I believe that most of the readers who seeks the “Design Pattern Book” are not in the category. Although the GOF one was the perfect solution at their ages, it is outdated... Smalltalk could not survive the test of time! I expected the substitute for the GOF with the C++, but this book was not.

Must read for intermediate and professional C++ developers

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023

Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of C++ required.

Review:
The chapters are organized properly. It starts with tricks in C++, inheritance, templates and goes to design patterns, and advanced design patterns(adapters and decorators, policy based design)
The book is an exceptional guide for both intermediate and pro developers. The writing style is clear, concise, and engaging, making complex concepts easy to grasp.
The examples provided are well-thought-out and demonstrate the practical implementation of each pattern, making it easier for readers to comprehend. The book also covers challenges faced and issues during the implementation. I would recommend this book to developers who want to enhance their knowledge in design patterns and understand the concepts in depth.

Lots of advanced concepts using modern language features

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2019

I was the technical reviewer for this book. Mr Pikus did an amazing job writing about the advanced topics in this book. Some are a bit difficult to follow but there's plenty of examples in each chapter to help with the explanations. Before reading this book I only knew a handful of these patterns so this book definitely expanded my knowledge. I come from a C++ 98 and 03 background so I did struggle a little bit with patterns that made heavy use of C++11, 14, and even 17 features. I'd recommend being familiar with at least C++11 before diving into this book, or at least learning it in parallel if you don't know it already. Some of the patterns may be more useful than others and whether or not you'll actually find them helpful will largely be determined by what you're writing. If nothing else, this book is great reference material to keep handy.

Buch ausgezeichnet, aber nichts für Neulinge!

Reviewed in Germany on May 30, 2022

Verified Purchase

Vorweg: Das Buch eignet sich nicht für Programmierneulinge! Man sollte sowohl einige Kenntnisse über modernes C++ (C++-17) als auch über Design Patterns haben, um es sinnvoll nutzen zu können. Wer zum Beispiel eine Diskussion von Pro und Kontra der einzelnen Design Patterns sucht, um das geeignete DP auswählen zu können, ist mit den guten alten "Design Patterns" der GoF besser bedient.

Viele der im Buch gemachten Vorschläge werden von Mikro-Benchmarking (mithilfe
der Google-Benchmark-Library) begleitet.

Das Buch ist also für C++-Programmierer interessant, die Performance-Probleme
zu lösen haben und die üblichen Optimierungsmethodem (wie etwa
Re-Implementierung mit einem effizienteren Algorithmus oder Parallelisierung)
ausgeschöpft haben bzw. sich auf darüber hinaus gehende Möglichkeiten vorbereiten wollen.

Das Buch ist in einzelne Kapitel gegliedert, die sich unabhängig voneinander
lesen lassen.

UML-Diagramme werden im Buch nicht verwendet. Mit ihnen lassen sich C++-Feinheiten wie
Pointer und References oder unterschiedlich Template-Varianten auch nicht gut darstellen, sodass mir diesbezüglich nichts abgeht. Außerdem wird in der C++-Welt sehr viel Wert auf das Lesen von Source-Code gelegt.

Positiv empfinde ich, dass im wesentlichen der gleiche moderne Programming-Style
verwendet wird wie bei cppreference oder auf isocpp.

Natürlich hat das Buch auch aus meiner Sicht ein paar Fehler:

Als (auch altersbedingten) Fehlsichtigen stört mich, dass die Code-Besipiele
in einem deutlich kleineren Font gesetzt sind, als der für den Text verwendete Font. Monospaced Fonts, wie sie bei Code-Beispielen üblich sind, benötigen an sich ja mehr Platz und daher wird
eine kleinere Font-Size verwendet. Aber eine Font-size zu verwenden, die nur zwei Drittel der Zeilenhöhe hat wie der normale Text, ist hier zuviel des Guten. Dass die Code-Beispiele bei Packt downgeloadet werden können, ist nur ein mangelhafter Ersatz für die leichte Lesbarkeit.

Ein kleines Hoppala ist dem Lektorat entgangen: im Kapitel über Singletons
wird statt des Reference-Declarators "&" (das Et-Zeichen, engl. Ampersand) die
HTML/SGML-Entity "&" gedruckt.

Es steht also

Singleton&

anstelle des richtigen

Singleton&

In anderen Kapiteln, in denen References verwendet werden, habe ich diesen Fehler
nicht gesehen. Dafür gibt es in den Code-Beispielen so manchen anderen Typo.
Bei Packt gibt es im Support-Bereich aber eine Druckfehlerliste, die leider
noch ein bisschen unvollständig ist.

Apropos:Diese Rezension kommt nicht aus Deutschland, sondern aus Österreich!
Ich bin jetzt seit 2003 Amazon-Kunde und halte von der deutschen Unsitte nichts,
plötzlich geduzt zu werden. Ich werde daher in Hinkunft in jenen Produktbereichen, in
denen Amazon das Duzen der Kunden einführt, meine Einkäufe deutlich reduzieren.

Patrones de Diseño además de idioms de C++

Reviewed in Spain on August 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

Puedes considerar este libro como un libro de patrones de diseño a "bajo nivel". No sólo explica cómo implementar diversos patrones de diseño desde una perspectiva más apropiada para C++, sino que también explica "idioms" específicos de C++. Temas del libro que he encontrado especialmente interesantes: Type Erasure, Local Buffer Optimization, Policy-Based Design, Friend Factory. El auténtico valor del libro reside en la cantidad de técnicas y conceptos que expone al lector. Muy útil también para arquitectos del software que cuyo lenguaje de programación sea C++.

Interessante Themen, mäßige Erklärungen

Reviewed in Germany on December 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

Liefert einen Einblick in viele interessante Themen der fortgeschritten C++ Programmierung, allerdings oft, zumindest für mich nicht sonderlich gut erklärt. Wie hier schon ein Vorgänger geschrieben hat wäre es hilfreich wenn mehr Bilder, evtl uml Diagramme verwendet werden würde um die Patterns dem Leser besser rüber zu bringen. Auch hat der Autor Schwierigkeiten komplexe Themen (zumindest für mich) einfsch rüber zu bringen, oft musste ich mich bei vielen Themen in andere Literatur einlesen bis ich verstanden habe was mir das Buch hier sagen will.
Wer etwas Zeit investiert lernt hier trotzdem einige neue Ideen und Tipps für seinen Code. Da mir aktuell eine Alternative in C++ zu diesem Buch nicht bekannt ist, kann ich es durchaus empfehlen, wenn man sich mal in solche patterns einlesen will.

This book is without any doubt a masterpiece. With excellent explanation and patterns implemrntation that shows massive experience of the author in real world software development. Of course reading the book need a strong C++ background. Except for the chapter related to the type erasure which I think could be written better, other chapters could be used as reliable and correct reference for developers to be applied in their projects.
