Effective modern c++: 42 specific ways to improve your use of c++11 and c++14, paperback/scott meyers

Contributor(s): Author: Scott Meyers Coming to grips with C++11 and C++14 is more than a matter of familiarizing yourself with the features they introduce (e.

, auto type declarations, move semantics, lambda expressions, and concurrency support).

The challenge is learning to use those features effectively --so that your software is correct, efficient, maintainable, and portable.

Thats where this practical book comes in.

It describes how to write truly great software using C++11 and C++14--i.

using modern C++.

Topics include: The pros and cons of braced initialization, noexcept specifications, perfect forwarding, and smart pointer make functions The relationships among std:: move , std:: forward , rvalue references, and universal references Techniques for writing clear, correct, effective lambda expressions How std:: atomic differs from volatile , how each should be used, and how they relate to C++s concurrency API How best practices in old C++ programming (i.

, C++98) require revision for software development in modern C++ Effective Modern C++ follows the proven guideline-based, example-driven format of Scott Meyers earlier books, but covers entirely new material.

After I learned the C++ basics, I then learned how to use C++ in production code from Meyers series of Effective C++ books.

Effective Modern C++ is the most important how-to book for advice on key guidelines, styles, and idioms to use modern C++ effectively and well.
