This book shows you how to write robust and elegant Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) with a focus on the C++ programming language. The progression of chapters in this book roughly follows the standard evolution of an API, from initial design choices, through implementation decisions, versioning, documentation, and testing. The book also includes details on more advanced topics, such as creating scripting and plugin interfaces for your C++ APIs, as well as covering details on how to create static and shared libraries for your API implementation.

The list is broken down into several categories, including: Generic, Script Integration, Text Manipulation, Threading, Signalling and Parallel-Programming, Numerical, Algorithmic and Crypto, Network and Web Programming, Multimedia, File Format, GUI, Device Access, Testing and Debugging, Database Engine/Interface, Science, and Financial.
