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
