There are striking lessons in failed software architectures, and it all start with API design. The goal when designing an API is to prevent the amoeba shaking effect - e.g. Proper API Design requires testing and verification. (Click here if you can't see the video.) . I keep getting back to some references on the best practices for C++/Java API design so I decided to summarize them all here for future reference. Last, he talks about how the Coherence team built Java-like memory management for C++ and how they made Coherence 3.4 work on many of the operating systems running on Intel-like processors. Http://www.apibook.com/blog/archives/95 API Design for C++. Prevent each new release to completely destabilize existing usages. The Nokia Qt library provides a cross-platform application and UI framework for C++. This requires standard unit testing as well, as something special - testing for binary compatibility There is a backward binary compatibility checker for shared libraries in C/C++. As a result, APIs are not well designed or properly built and wind up costing both the vendor and its customers tens of thousands of dollars in ongoing maintenance due to infrastructure costs and the drain on engineering resources. An anonymous coward just provided a link to API compliance checker. Multi-threading and event handling are built into the C++ API. I am sharing here my practical experience with C++ projects, but most of these advices also apply to Java. After reviewing hundreds of actual SaaS APIs, many up to par and others distinctly .
