MODERN C++, COMPILED AND OPTIMIZED
Covers C++ 17
C++ is one of the most widely used languages for real-world software. In the hands of a knowledgeable programmer, C++ can produce small, efficient, and readable code that any programmer would be proud of.
Written for intermediate to advanced programmers, C++ Crash Course cuts through the weeds to get straight to the core of C++17, the most modern revision of the ISO standard. Part I covers the core C++ language, from types and functions to the object life cycle and expressions. Part II introduces the C++ Standard Library and Boost Libraries, where you’ll learn about special utility classes, data structures, and algorithms, as well as how to manipulate file systems and build high-performance programs that communicate over networks.
You’ll learn all the major features of modern C++, including:
- Fundamental types, reference types, and userdefined types
- Compile-time polymorphism with templates and runtime polymorphism with virtual classes
- The object lifecycle including storage duration, call stacks, memory management, exceptions, and the RAII (resource acquisition is initialization) paradigm
- Advanced expressions, statements, and functions
- Smart pointers, data structures, dates and times, numerics, and probability/statistics facilities
- Containers, iterators, strings, and algorithms
- Streams and files, concurrency, networking, and application development
With well over 500 code samples and nearly 100 exercises, C++ Crash Course is sure to help you build a strong C++ foundation.
