Summary

This practical guide drives home the essential concepts and principles of object-oriented programming development, helping users understand the basic paradigms necessary to build a strong foundation in this cutting-edge software world, and giving them the tools and know-how to work and succeed in any O-O environment.

Features


Thoroughly examines the object-oriented paradigm underlying C++, then translates those abstract object-oriented concepts to real-world solutions users may apply in various problem domains.
Introduces general object-oriented concepts and fundamental theories underlying C++ language features, and goes beyond:

  • Discusses important practices regarding the effective use of inheritance, mix-in classes, template classes, and exceptions; issues in template instantiation, shared libraries, and thread safety; operator overloading, and a host of other key O-O topics.
Shows how to structure a C++ development project for maximum efficiency.
Describes initialization and garbage collection as generic concepts, and as their implementation in C++.
Includes an under-the-hood look at language design.
Offers a hands-on comparison of C++, Eiffel, and Smalltalk, and demonstrates how to leverage object-oriented features to develop more effective code in C++ and other languages.
Presents class diagrams in Booch notation and the latest UML.
