“Develop once, run everywhere!” This developer promise was the key driving force behind much of the success enjoyed by the Java programming language.<br>And as interest in Java continued to rise through broad adoption, the need for robust enterprise-grade appli‐ cations soared. The advent of the Internet and the first browser ver‐ sions led to the implementation of the first web server in Java as well as the introduction of the Servlet and JSP specifications.

The recipes in this book assume that the typical reader already is comfortable with Java versions prior to Java SE 8. You don’t need to be an expert, and some older con‐ cepts are reviewed, but the book is not intended to be a beginner’s guide to Java or object-oriented programming.

Apply modern C++17 to the implementations of classic design patterns. As well as covering traditional design patterns, this book fleshes out new patterns and approaches that will be useful to C++ developers. The author presents concepts as a fun investigation of how problems can be solved in different ways, along the way using varying degrees of technical sophistication and explaining different sorts of trade-offs.

Topics include:<br>The pros and cons of braced initialization, noexcept specifications, perfect forwarding, and smart pointer make functions<br>The relationships among std::move, std::forward, rvalue references, and universal references
