Summary

The second edition of this global bestseller is here to prove that learning C++ doesn’t have to be hard! 

Revised to reflect the latest in C++ code and practices, its fast pace is designed to get intermediate programmers fluent in the language—with help from 500 code samples and nearly 100 exercises.


Designed for intermediate to advanced programmers, this book gets you straight to the core of C++20—the most modern revision of the ISO standard. You’ll  pick up everything from types and functions to the object life-cycle and expressions. 

The second edition of its bestselling predecessor is completely revised to reflect the latest in C++ code and practices. New and updated coverage includes new chapters on coroutines, concepts, ranges, and writing modules, as well as expanded discussions of popular features, like pro tools for managing builds and dependencies.

You’ll learn: 
  • How to invent your own string class to learn about object lifetimes, ownership, copy, and move semantics
  • How to craft an alphanumeric histogram generator to investigate program parameters
  • How to design your own heap for memory management while learning about dynamic allocation
  • How to make an HTTP client and a TCP echo server using Boost Asio

You’ll also discover the high-quality, full-featured facilities available to you through the C++ Standard Library and Boost Libraries, as well as special utility classes, data structures, and algorithms as you use 500 code samples and nearly 100 exercises that will have you manipulating filesystems and building high-performance programs in no time.
