Design Patterns in the 21st Century

Explore modern implementations of classic Gang of Four design patterns in C++ during this 42-minute CppNow conference talk. Discover how programming paradigms have evolved since the inception of design patterns in Smalltalk and early C++. Learn to improve traditional patterns using Modern C++ techniques, and delve into functional programming patterns. Understand how C++ functional literals and lambda expressions enable the implementation of monads. Examine topics such as string classes, split functions, building adapters, composites, neurons, the open-closed principle, state-space explosion problems, filtering on multiple criteria, Groovy-style builders, and functional patterns. Access accompanying slides for visual reference and deeper understanding of the concepts presented.
