In \u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Tour of C++, Second Edition, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, describes what constitutes modern C++. This concise, self-contained guide covers most major language features and the major standard-library components--not, of course, in great depth, but to a level that gives programmers a meaningful overview of the language, some key examples, and practical help in getting started.  Stroustrup presents the C++ features in the context of the programming styles they support, such as object-oriented and generic programming. His tour is remarkably comprehensive. Coverage begins with the basics, then ranges widely through more advanced topics, including many that are new in C++17, such as move semantics, uniform initialization, lambda expressions, improved containers, random numbers, and concurrency. The tour even covers some extensions being made for C++20, such as concepts and modules, and ends with a discussion of the design and evolution of C++.  This guide does not aim to teach you how to program (for that, see Stroustrup's \u003ci\u003eProgramming: Principles and Practice Using C++, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e), nor will it be the only resource you'll need for C++ mastery (for that, see Stroustrup's \u003ci\u003eThe C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition, \u003c\/i\u003e and recommended online sources). If, however, you are a C or C++ programmer wanting greater familiarity with the current C++ language, or a programmer versed in another language wishing to gain an accurate picture of the nature and benefits of modern C++, you can't find a shorter or simpler introduction than this tour provides.","brand":"Stroustrup, Bjarne","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":53286054363419,"sku":"mon0000797384","price":9.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/4004\/3291\/files\/951903482236.jpg?v=1786921527","url":"https:\/\/bookalley.com\/products\/tour-of-c-a-c-in-depth-series","provider":"Book Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
