In Large-Scale C++ Volume I: Process and Architecture, John Lakos takes a practitioner's view of modern large-scale software development, helping experienced professionals apply architectural-level physical design concepts in their everyday work. Lakos teaches critical concepts clearly and concisely, with new high-value examples. Up to date and modular, Large-Scale C++ Volume I is designed to help readers solve problems right now, and serve as an appealing reference for years to come.
