The Composite Pattern
The Composite Pattern allows you to compose objects into tree structures and treat the individual object and composite objects uniformly.
The Decorator Pattern
The Decorator Pattern’s job is to extend an object with responsibilities dynamically. Let me, in today’s post, dig deeper.
And the Five Winners for “Template Metaprogramming with C++” are
Today, I want to present the five winners for coupons for the book “Template Metaprogramming with C++” by Marius Bancila.
The Bridge Pattern
The Bridge Pattern is a structural pattern. It decouples the interface from the implementation. In C++, a simplified version is often used: the Pimpl Idiom.
The Adapter Pattern
The idea of the adapter pattern is straightforward: It converts the interface of a class into another interface.
Five Coupons for the eBook “Template Metaprogramming with C++”
I’m happy to announce that I have five giveaway eBooks for “Template Metaprogramming with C++” by Marius Bancila. In return, I have two questions about templates. The five best answers will get the coupons.
The Singleton: The Alternatives Monostate Pattern and Dependency Injection
So far, I have discussed in my previous posts the Singleton Pattern, and its pros and cons. One question is still open: What alternatives for the Singleton Pattern are available? Today, I write about the Monostate Pattern and Dependency Injection.
Concepts and the Finance Industry
The finance industry is a big user of C++. But as everyone knows, C++ programmers take on a substantial burden of complexity relative to other languages. Why would they do that? In a word: for performance. With C++, you retain full semantic expressiveness without sacrificing any speed. But that complexity can be tough.
The Singleton: Pros and Cons
I introduced in my last post “The Singleton“, the classical Singleton and the so-called Meyers Singleton. The Singleton Pattern is highly controversial. Let me, therefore, discuss in this post the pros and cons of the Singleton.
