PacktPub – Creational Design Patterns in Modern C++ [Video]

The best way to solve common object-oriented design problems is by implementing design patterns.

However, understanding and learning design patterns can be time-consuming and intimidating, but this course has got you covered! With Creational Design Patterns in Modern C++, you’ll learn how to understand and implement creational design patterns in C++ with the help of engaging examples.

The course begins with an introduction to creational patterns, giving you a tour of UML class diagrams and SOLID principles. You’ll become familiar with logger classes, multithreading, and patterns and gain a solid understanding of singletons in C++. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with the factory method and find out how to implement it in the application framework. Once you’ve covered the intent, structure, and implementation of the object pool pattern, you’ll discover how to use the abstract factory pattern. Finally, you’ll delve into prototype implementation with the help of a gaming example and apply the builder pattern.

By the end of this course, you’ll have developed skills needed to create and implement patterns in modern C++.
