Key Features
- Learn the latest features of C++ such as concurrency, multi-threading capabilities, testing, and more
- Extend your C++ knowledge and take your development skills to new heights by making your applications fast, secure, and scalable
- This book will give you a great understanding of how C++ works and how to leverage its features
Book Description
C++ is one of the oldest and most widely used programming languages. Fast, efficient, and flexible, it is used to solve many problems. The upcoming version of C++ will see programmers change the way they code, giving up on the old-fashioned C-style programming and adopting modern C++ instead.
Beginning with the modern language features, each recipe addresses a specific problem, with a discussion that explains the solution and offers insight into how it works. You will learn major concepts about the core programming language as well as common tasks faced while building a wide variety of software, from enterprise grade apps to low latency software. You will learn about concepts such as concurrency, performance, testing, and more in the form of recipes. These recipes will ensure you can make your applications secure and fast.
By the end of the book, you will understand the newer aspects of C++ and will be able to overcome tasks that are time-consuming or would break your stride while developing.
What you will learn
- Get to know about the new core language features and the problems they were intended to solve
- Understand the standard support for threading and concurrency and know how to put them on work for daily basic tasks
- Leverage C++’s features to get increased robustness and performance
- Explore the widely-used testing frameworks for C++ and implement various useful patterns and idioms
- Work with various types of strings and look at the various aspects of compilation
- Explore functions and callable objects with a focus on modern features
- Leverage the STL and work with containers, algorithms, and iterators
- Use the new utility additions to the Standard Library to solve common problems developers encounter including optional and variant types
