Object-Oriented Software Design in C++

Object-Oriented Software Design in C++ is packed with ''before'' program examples that show what not to do, followed by ''after'' versions built with the benefits of good design. You''ll learn how to gather and analyze requirements so you''re building exactly what your client is looking for, discover how to utilize iterative development to backtrack mistakes, and revise your code to be as good as it can be.

Well-designed applications run more efficiently, have fewer bugs, and are easier to revise and maintain. Learn the fundamentals of Object-Oriented Design by investigating good and bad code.

Using an engaging before-and-after approach, Object-Oriented Software Design in C++ shows you exactly what bad software looks like and how to fix it with good design principles and patterns. In it, you''ll find:

• Design-code-test iterations that improve code with each revision
• Gathering requirements to make sure you''re developing the right application
• Design principles like encapsulation and delegation that solve programming problems
• Design patterns including Observer Design Pattern that fix architecture issues
• Using recursion and multithreading to simplify common solutions
