In almost every book on Design Patterns, from the famous Gang of Four book to modern titles, whether about programming or not, the basic definition of a pattern has remained unchanged, unchallenged, and quite wrong.
Wherever you see the claim design patterns are common solutions to repeating problems you know you have found another example of a misconception embedded in the minds of the vast majority. When you encounter a text claiming design patterns are general or reusable solutions to common problems, you can be sure they won’t have provided the information you need to use them in their most potent form.
While validated by evidence of the damage design patterns caused, sceptics of patterns have remained powerless to correct the fault. More than twenty years later, the forces driving their decline persist, but the general defeat remains unresolved.

Proponents see value in patterns and strive to teach others but still refer to a book older than DevOps and Git. For a title explicitly calling out the need for patterns to evolve, it’s quite the contradiction. It would be an unacceptable state of affairs for us to be left wanting for an update to the book or a living repository of the currently accepted patterns, but this is also unresolved.
Further forces are at play, restricting the efficiency and effectiveness of our teams. Those striving to bring agile development practices to their organisations will recognise some but not others. These hidden forces remain unchallenged, affecting our productivity and health while they remain hidden.
This book attempts to answer open questions about what happened, why they faltered, what will happen next, and how we can avoid it. It will provide the necessary tools to elevate your capacity to refactor your software design using patterns while also attending to the problems found beyond the source code.

C++ is a complex language with many subtle facets. This is especially true when it comes to object-oriented and template programming. The C++ Pocket Reference is a memory aid for C++ programmers, enabling them to quickly look up usage and syntax for unfamiliar and infrequently used aspects of the language. The book’s small size makes it easy to carry about, ensuring that it will always be at-hand when needed. Programmers will also appreciate the book’s brevity; as much information as possible has been crammed into its small pages.

In the C++ Pocket Reference, you will find:Information on C++ types and type conversionsSyntax for C++ statements and preprocessor directivesHelp declaring and defining classes, and managing inheritanceInformation on declarations, storage classes, arrays, pointers, strings, and expressionsRefreshers on key concepts of C++ such as namespaces and scopeMore!C++ Pocket Reference is useful to Java and C programmers making the transition to C++, or who find themselves occasionally programming in C++. The three languages are often confusingly similar. This book enables programmers familiar with C or Java to quickly come up to speed on how a particular construct or concept is implemented in C++.

Together with its companion STL Pocket Reference, the C++ Pocket Reference forms one of the most concise, easily-carried, quick-references to the C++ language available.

Another day without Test-Driven Development means more time wasted chasing bugs and watching your code deteriorate. You thought TDD was for someone else, but it’s not! It’s for you, the embedded C programmer. TDD helps you prevent defects and build software with a long useful life. This is the first book to teach the hows and whys of TDD for C programmers.

TDD is a modern programming practice C developers need to know. It’s a different way to program—unit tests are written in a tight feedback loop with the production code, assuring your code does what you think. You get valuable feedback every few minutes. You find mistakes before they become bugs. You get early warning of design problems. You get immediate notification of side effect defects. You get to spend more time adding valuable features to your product.

James is one of the few experts in applying TDD to embedded C. With his 1.5 decades of training, coaching, and practicing TDD in C, C++, Java, and C# he will lead you from being a novice in TDD to using the techniques that few have mastered.

This book is full of code written for embedded C programmers. You don’t just see the end product, you see code and tests evolve. James leads you through the thought process and decisions made each step of the way. You’ll learn techniques for test-driving code right next to the hardware, and you’ll learn design principles and how to apply them to C to keep your code clean and flexible.

To run the examples in this book, you will need a C/C++ development environment on your machine, and the GNU GCC tool chain or Microsoft Visual Studio for C++ (some project conversion may be needed).
