Designing good, maintainable classes is a challenge. Sometimes it even feels like there is a decision to make in every single line of code. This talk will help you master this challenge. It will explain …

… why small classes are beautiful;
… why it is so important to encapsulate variation points;
… why inheritance is rarely the answer for customization;
… how to write good and maintainable constructors;
… how to make sure class invariants are maintained;
… how to handle member data;
… how to write good member functions;
… how to write good supporting functions;
… why your private members are not private at all.
