Hello, I’ve uploaded the first iteration of “Head First Design Patterns in C++” – the white-gold version. It contains the example found in the ‘Welcome to Design Patterns’ chapter; the ‘SimUDuck’ application.

As previously mentioned, I am approaching this version differently; one chapter at a time; however, unlike the ‘Bronze’ version, and the ill-fated ‘Silver’ version, this version deviates to some extent from the book.

I am more interested in C++ semantics, which is what I wanted the ‘Silver’ version to be; however, I think I fell short of that goal. Once vetted, I will overwrite the ‘Silver’ version with this one, and then use it as a foundation for the ‘Gold’ and possibly ‘Platinum’ version, which is intended to have ‘Parallel’ patterns.

Currently, this project is Microsoft centric and was built using Visual Studio 2010. I put a lot of information in the ‘Readme’ files, so I recommend reading them before starting. More so, I have heavily commented the code calling out C++ Idioms, principles, patterns and practices.

Hope you find it helpful and informative.

Regards, Glenn.
