C++ Software Design
The design plays a much more central role in the success of a project than any feature could ever do.
Good software is not primarily about the proper use of any feature; rather, it is about solid architecture and design. Good software design can tolerate some bad implementation decisions, but bad software design cannot be saved by the heroic use of features (old or new) alone.
Good software design is essential for the success of a project and design patterns are the core ingredient for that. They have proven to be useful over several decades and knowledge about them is still very useful to design robust, decoupled systems. Modern C++, however, has profoundly changed the way we use C++, think about design and implement solutions.
This 1-day training explores modern C++ design and the modern forms of the classic Gang-of-Four (GoF) design patterns. It provides guidelines, idioms and best practices for sustainable and maintainable design, which enable programmers to create professional, high-quality code.
- The classic GoF form
- The modern form with std::variant
- The classic GoF form
- The modern dynamic form with std::function
- The modern static form with templates
- Consequent separation of concerns
- Non-Intrusive design
- Virtual copying
- Hiding implementation details
- The Pimpl Idiom
- The Fast Pimpl Idiom
- A clever combination of patterns: External Polymorphism, Bridge and Prototype
- Value semantics vs. Reference semantics

He is passionate talking about clean, safe and maintainable C++ and shares his expertise in popular C++ courses — from beginner to advanced — all around the world. He is the author of “C++ Software Design”, one of the organizers of the Munich C++ user group, and the (co-)organizer of the Back-to-Basics and Software Design tracks at CppCon.
Requirements
• Software Requirements
There is no requirement on the operating system. The programming exercises work on Windows, Linux or MacOS. For the programming exercises, participants must be provided with a C++17/20/23 compiler. Additionally, for Windows with Visual Studio CMake is required to generate the according VS solutions.
• Computer Equipment
Participants are either required to bring their own laptops with a modern C++ compiler installed
• Previous Knowledge
Participants are required to have at least two to three years of C++ experience. The course expects that all participants are familiar with the syntax of the language and have used inheritance and templates before.
Meeting point for C++ developers and as exchange forum of ideas and experiences around the use of the C++ programming language
