Book Description

This book begins by grounding readers in the essentials of modern C++23, covering syntax, compiling, and core programming concepts. Early chapters introduce building blocks like data types, functions, and statements, ensuring a solid foundation. Readers also learn coding best practices focused on readability and modularization.
As the journey progresses, the focus shifts to object-oriented programming, exploring classes, inheritance, namespaces, and lifecycle management. The text includes advanced topics such as templates, macros, and the integration of C libraries. Readers develop skills in designing secure, maintainable, and extensible code while mastering error handling and testing.
The final sections dive into concurrency, standard library features like containers and algorithms, and advanced stream handling. Practical guidance on thread management, synchronization, and modern concurrency tools prepares readers for real-world applications. Concluding chapters present C++ guidelines, emphasizing sustainable and quality code development, completing a comprehensive path from fundamentals to expert-level mastery.

What you will learn

  • Understand C++23 syntax and semantics effectively
  • Apply object-oriented programming principles with clarity
  • Utilize the standard library for data structures and algorithms
  • Implement concurrent programming with threads and synchronization
  • Write modular and maintainable code following best practices
  • Master templates and generic programming techniques

Who this book is for

Ideal for intermediate programmers and software developers with some familiarity in programming concepts, looking to master modern C++23. Readers should have basic understanding of programming logic and syntax. Prior experience in any procedural or object-oriented language helps, but beginners motivated to learn C++ thoroughly will also benefit.
