Synopsis

Everything in the text is presented from a practical point of view based on real-world experience. The book takes a deeper look at why the various features of C++ are present, what programming styles they are intended to support, how and when to make best use of various standard idioms, and also the larger context in which development takes place. This book covers the software development process, source code organization, build time issues, the run time environment, etc.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The expert guide to building superior distributed & Web applications with C++!

• Building robust "infrastructure" for distributed & Web applications
• Advanced techniques for experienced C++/UNIX developers
• Concrete data types, templates, namespaces, error handling, and memory management
• Organizing source code, managing build-time, runtime, and beyond
• CD-ROM: Library of enterprise-proven, industrial strength C++ code

Distributed Application Programming in C++ brings together key techniques and insights every C++ developer needs to build robust, reliable, enterprise-class Web and distributed applications. Precisely written, and full of industrial-strength examples, this book focuses on the application infrastructure code that many books ignore ― but is utterly crucial to the success of any large-scale application. Drawing on his extensive experience teaching advanced C++, Randall A. Maddox covers all this, and more:

• Essential infrastructure for distributed Web applications in UNIX environments
• Key design and implementation tradeoffs in large-scale distributed development
• Concrete data types, templates, containers, namespaces, and error handling
• Program startup and execution environments
• Improving the reliability of C++ dynamic memory allocation
• Effective data sharing within and between computers
• Distributed architectures: Web-based application frameworks, RPC, CORBA, and other alternatives

Unlike many advanced C++ books, Distributed Application Programming in C++ goes beyond coding, introducing optimal strategies for enterprise software development. You'll find best-practices approaches for organizing source code, managing build-time and runtime, and more. If you're serious about using C++ for distributed and Web development, this book delivers the solutions you're looking for.

CD-ROM INCLUDED

CD-ROM contains an extensive library of real-world, enterprise-proven sample code.

Synopsis:

As software becomes increasingly distributed, high-quality infrastructure becomes ever more important. Precisely written, replete with advanced code examples, and based on Randall Maddox' extensive experience teaching advanced C++, this book gives working C++ developers the insights and sophisticated techniques they need to build superior software infrastructure. Maddox begins by introducing the context required to support a distributed Web application in a Unix environment. He then presents the utility classes that illustrate crucial design and implementation issues and serve as building blocks for a distributed software architecture. Coverage includes concrete data types, templates, containers, namespaces, error handling, and an automated solution for the hazards of dynamic memory allocation. Maddox reviews C++ program startup and memory usage in detail, laying the groundwork for a full of understanding of multiprocessing, multithreading, and interprocess communication. Unlike most advanced C++ books, Distributed Application Programming in C++ goes beyond coding, introducing superior strategies for enterprise software development.

Maddox presents key design/implementation tradeoffs, managing source code organization, build-time issues, the run-time environment, and more. For all professional developers who want to master the use of advanced C++ features in real-world distributed applications.
