For many years, I have been re-reading John Lakos's classic Large-Scale C++ Software Design. Not only it was the first guidebook of this kind, but it also revolutionized how to develop a project in C++, in an efficient fashion to this day!
Do you feel his ideas are outdated now? Some C++ techniques in the book are in fact old (don't forget that book has been written before the latest standard was published) .
What's a good authority to guide building of a big system in C++ nowadays.
Don't get me wrong, I am not giving up Lakos at all. It will always be referenced for me, and occupy a prime location on the bookshelf.
Thanks
Interestingly, his next book, Scalable C++: Component-Based Development, is anticipated in 2006.
I don't think it has ever came to fruition... one day it may!
Also, Agile Principles and patterns are widespread and effective software developing paradigm. I am shifting my gears in that directions.
