Description

Discover the power of modern C++ design patterns, including adapter, façade, and composite. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of each pattern, complete with real-world examples to help you confidently implement them in your projects and build efficient, scalable software like a pro.

With design patterns, it is very easy to solve common object-oriented design problems. However, understanding and learning design patterns is tough and time-consuming. This course will help you get acquainted with design patterns and teach you some useful techniques to implement them in modern C++. The course starts with an introduction to design patterns and explains the structure of a pattern with the help of a Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagram. Then, you will understand how to implement a design pattern, how to examine the issues, and how to refactor the code by studying different types of design patterns such as adapter, façade, proxy, decorator, composite, bridge, and flyweight. In addition to this, you will also learn about the pros and cons of each pattern. By the end of this course, you will be well-versed in various structural design patterns and will have developed the skills to implement them in modern C++. All the resource files are added to the GitHub repository at: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Structural-Design-Patterns-in-Modern-C-

What You Will Learn

Use the adapter pattern to convert an incompatible interface into a compatible one
Control access to the original object using the proxy pattern
Form larger structures through recursive composition using the composite pattern
Simplify complex interfaces of a system using the façade pattern
Enable sharing of large number of objects using the flyweight pattern
Use the decorator pattern to add more behaviors to an object at runtime

Audience

If you are a student who wants to get a basic understanding of design patterns; a software developer, project manager, or an architect who wants to understand and implement design patterns in their projects; or a C++ developer who wants to implement design patterns in C++, this course is for you. To get started with this course, it is necessary to have basic knowledge of C++ and object-oriented programming concepts.

Approach

With the help of real-world examples written in modern C++, this course gets you acquainted with different types of structural design patterns and helps you understand how a pattern can be implemented efficiently using language features.

Key Features

Understand various structural design patterns * Find out how structural design patterns create bigger structures through inheritance and composition * Discover amazing techniques to tweak design patterns for performance and maximum flexibility using C++
