Lakos: Process and Architecture, Volume 1 (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series) - Softcover

Designing scalable software in C++ requires more than just a sound understanding of logical design. Senior developers, architects, and project leaders need a grasp of high-level physical design concepts that even many software experts have never explored. In Large-Scale C++ Volume I: Process and Architecture, John Lakos takes a practitioner's view of modern large-scale software development, helping experienced professionals apply architectural-level physical design concepts in their everyday work. Lakos teaches critical concepts clearly and concisely, with new high-value examples. Up to date and modular, Large-Scale C++ Volume I is designed to help you solve problems right now, and serve as an appealing reference for years to come.

Designing scalable software in C++ requires more than just a sound understanding of the logical design issues covered in most C++ programming books. To succeed, senior developers, architects, and project leaders need a grasp of high-level physical design concepts with which even expert software developers have little or no experience. This concise, approachable guide takes a practitioner's view of large-scale software development, while providing all the information you need to quickly apply architectural-level physical design concepts in your everyday work. All content is presented in self-contained modules that make it easy to find what you need -- and use it. John Lakos presents crucial new material on runtime dependencies and other architectural issues, as well as realistic small examples that add value by illuminating broad and deep issues in large-scale C++ application design.
