Description
Book SynopsisC++ is one of the most widely used languages for real-world software. Wherever performance matters, C++ is the de facto standard. It's the language behind operating systems, embedded devices, games, web browsers, and virtual reality systems. As a C++ developer, you can program efficient software on virtually any platform. C++ Crash Course cuts through the weeds to get you straight to the core of C++17, the most modern revision of the ISO standard.
Trade Review"This is a comprehensive book, both in size (over 700 pages, taking 5 months to review) and breadth of coverage . . . All in all, highly recommended."
—ACCU
"I can highly recommend this book to anyone who already has programming experience (in another language) and wants to dive straight into modern C++."
