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.
