Written for programmers with a background in another high-level language, in this book, you’ll learn Modern C++ development hands on using C++20 and its “Big Four” features–Ranges, Concepts, Modules and Coroutines. For more details, see the Preface, and the table of contents diagram inside the front cover.

In the context of 200+, hands-on, real-world code examples, you’ll quickly master Modern C++ coding idioms using popular compilers–Visual C++ ®, GNU ® g++, Apple ® Xcode ® and LLVM ®/Clang. After the C++ fundamentals quick start, you’ll move on to C++ standard library containers array and vector; functional-style programming with C++20 Ranges and Views; strings, files and regular expressions; object-oriented programming with classes, inheritance, runtime polymorphism and static polymorphism; operator overloading, copy/move semantics, RAII and smart pointers; exceptions and a look forward to C++23 Contracts; standard library containers, iterators and algorithms; templates, C++20 Concepts and metaprogramming; C++20 Modules and large-scale development; and concurrency, parallelism, the C++17 and C++20 parallel standard library algorithms and C++20 Coroutines.
