A comprehensive guide with extensive coverage on concepts such as OOP, functional programming, generic programming, and STL along with the latest features of C++ Key Features * Delve into the core patterns and components of C++ in order to master application design * Learn tricks, techniques, and best practices to solve common design and architectural challenges * Understand the limitation imposed by C++ and how to solve them using design patterns Book Description C++ is a general-purpose programming language designed with the goals of efficiency, performance, and flexibility in mind. Design patterns are commonly accepted solutions to well-recognized design problems. In essence, they are a library of reusable components, only for software architecture, and not for a concrete implementation. The focus of this book is on the design patterns that naturally lend themselves to the needs of a C++ programmer, and on the patterns that uniquely benefit from the features of C++, in particular, the generic programming. Armed with the knowledge of these patterns, you will spend less time searching for a solution to a common problem and be familiar with the solutions developed from experience, as well as their advantages and drawbacks. The other use of design patterns is as a concise and an efficient way to communicate. A pattern is a familiar and instantly recognizable solution to specific problem; through its use, sometimes with a single line of code, we can convey a considerable amount of information. The code conveys: "This is the problem we are facing, these are additional considerations that are most important in our case; hence, the following well-known solution was chosen." By the end of this book, you will have gained a comprehensive understanding of design patterns to create robust, reusable, and maintainable code. What you will learn * Recognize the most common design patterns used in C++ * Understand how to use C++ generic programming to solve common design problems * Explore the most powerful C++ idioms, their strengths, and drawbacks * Rediscover how to use popular C++ idioms with generic programming * Understand the impact of design patterns on the program’s performance Who this book is for This book is for experienced C++ developers and programmers who wish to learn about software design patterns and principles and apply them to create robust, reusable, and easily maintainable apps.

Create a complete Continuous Delivery process using modern DevOps tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Docker Hub, Ansible, GitHub and many more. Key Features * Build reliable and secure applications using Docker containers. * Create a highly available environment to scale a Docker servers using Kubernetes * Implement advance continuous delivery process by parallelizing the pipeline tasks Book Description Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins, Second Edition will explain the advantages of combining Jenkins and Docker to improve the continuous integration and delivery process of an app development. It will start with setting up a Docker server and configuring Jenkins on it. It will then provide steps to build applications on Docker files and integrate them with Jenkins using continuous delivery processes such as continuous integration, automated acceptance testing, and configuration management. Moving on, you will learn how to ensure quick application deployment with Docker containers along with scaling Jenkins using Kubernetes. Next, you will get to know how to deploy applications using Docker images and testing them with Jenkins. Towards the end, the book will touch base with missing parts of the CD pipeline, which are the environments and infrastructure, application versioning, and nonfunctional testing. By the end of the book, you will be enhancing the DevOps workflow by integrating the functionalities of Docker and Jenkins. What you will learn * Get to grips with docker fundamentals and how to dockerize an application for the CD process * Learn how to use Jenkins on the Cloud environments * Scale a pool of Docker servers using Kubernetes * Create multi-container applications using Docker Compose * Write acceptance tests using Cucumber and run them in the Docker ecosystem using Jenkins * Publish a built Docker image to a Docker Registry and deploy cycles of Jenkins pipelines using community best practices Who this book is for The book targets DevOps engineers, system administrators, docker professionals or any stakeholders who would like to explore the power of working with Docker and Jenkins together. No prior knowledge of DevOps is required for this book.

Over 30 recipes to develop custom drivers for your embedded Linux applications. Key Features * Use Kernel facilities to develop powerful drivers * Via a practical approach, learn core concepts of developing device drivers * Program a custom character device to get access to kernel internals Book Description Linux is a unified kernel that is widely used to develop embedded systems. As Linux has turned out to be one of the most popular operating systems used, the interest in developing proprietary device drivers has also increased. Device drivers play a critical role in how the system performs and ensures that the device works in the manner intended. By offering several examples on the development of character devices and how to use other kernel internals, such as interrupts, kernel timers, and wait queue, as well as how to manage a device tree, you will be able to add proper management for custom peripherals to your embedded system. You will begin by installing the Linux kernel and then configuring it. Once you have installed the system, you will learn to use the different kernel features and the character drivers. You will also cover interrupts in-depth and how you can manage them. Later, you will get into the kernel internals required for developing applications. Next, you will implement advanced character drivers and also become an expert in writing important Linux device drivers. By the end of the book, you will be able to easily write a custom character driver and kernel code as per your requirements. What you will learn * Become familiar with the latest kernel releases (4.19+/5.x) running on the ESPRESSObin devkit, an ARM 64-bit machine * Download, configure, modify, and build kernel sources * Add and remove a device driver or a module from the kernel * Master kernel programming * Understand how to implement character drivers to manage different kinds of computer peripherals * Become well versed with kernel helper functions and objects that can be used to build kernel applications * Acquire a knowledge of in-depth concepts to manage custom hardware with Linux from both the kernel and user space Who this book is for This book will help anyone who wants to develop their own Linux device drivers for embedded systems. Having basic hand-on with Linux operating system and embedded concepts is necessary.
