Description
Coplien offers insight into an analysis and design process that takes advantage of C++'s multiple paradigm capability, including classes, overloaded functions, templates, modules, procedural programming, and more. The book uses understandable notation and readable explanations to help all C++ programmers-not just system architects and designers-combine multiple paradigms in their application development for more effective, efficient, portable, robust, and reusable software. Multi-paradigm design digs deeper than any single technology or technique to address fundamental questions of software abstraction and design.

Person
James O. Coplien is a premier expert and writer on the object paradigm and C++, having worked with the language since its inception at AT&T. Currently a member of Bell Laboratories Research at Lucent Technologies, his work focuses on multi-paradigm development methods and organizational anthropology for software development processes. His previous books include Pattern Languages of Program Design (with Douglas C. Schmidt), Pattern Languages of Program Design, Volume 2 (with John M. Vlissides and Norman L. Kerth), and Advanced C++ Programming Styles and Idioms.
