Large-Scale C++ Software Design

Developing a large scale software system in C++ requires more than just a sound of understanding of the logical design issues covered in most books on C++ programming. To be successful, you will also need a grasp of physical design concepts that, while closely tied to the technical aspects of development, include a dimension with which even expert software developers may have little or not experience. This is the definitive book for all C++ software professionals involved in large development efforts such as databaes, operating systems, compilers, and frame-works. It is the first C++ book that actually demonstrates how to design large systems, and one of the few books on object-orinted design specifically geared to practical aspects of the C++ programming language. Lakos provides you with a catalog of specific techniques designed to eliminate cyclic, compile time, and link time dependencies. He then extends the concepts to very large systems.
