In this book, the first of three volumes on developing large-scale systems using C++,  John Lakos shows how to create and grow Software Capital. This volume lays the foundation for projects of all sizes and demonstrates the processes, methods, techniques, and tools needed for successful real-world, large-scale development. Up to date and with a solid engineering focus, the book demonstrates fundamental design concepts with concrete examples.

• Raise productivity by making use of differences between infrastructure and application development
• Achieve exponential productivity gains through feedback and hierarchical reuse
• Embrace the component’s role as the fundamental unit of both logical and physical design
• Analyze how fundamental properties of compiling and linking affect component design
• Discover effective partitioning of logical content in appropriately sized physical aggregates
• Internalize the important differences among sufficient, complete, minimal, and primitive software
• Deliver solutions that simultaneously optimize encapsulation, stability, and performance
• Exploit the nine established levelization techniques to avoid cyclic physical dependencies
• Use lateral designs judiciously to avoid the “heaviness” of conventional layered architectures
• Employ appropriate architectural insulation techniques for eliminating compile-time coupling
• Master the multidimensional process of designing large systems using component-based methods
