Mastering Design Patterns in C++ for Effective Object-Oriented Programming

In the article "Design Pattern (feat. C++)" from The Practical Developer, the author introduces various design patterns widely used in software development, particularly in the context of C++. The article categorizes design patterns into three main types: Creational, Structural, and Behavioral, explaining their specific roles in object-oriented programming. The author aims to provide insights into effective communication and interaction between objects, the architecture necessary for flexibility and maintainability, and different strategies for class instantiation. Additionally, the author mentions a cheat-sheet for design patterns to aid in preparation for interviews and in the design of future projects.

Key Points:

• Categories of Design Patterns:
  • Behavioral: Focuses on communication and interaction between objects.
  • Structural: Emphasizes architecture for flexibility and maintainability.
  • Creational: Pertains to strategies for object creation and instantiation.
• Series Focus: The upcoming posts will be categorized into Behavioral, Structural, and Creational patterns.
• Cheat-Sheet: A resource will be provided for quick reference and interview preparation regarding design patterns.
