Professional C++ Development with C++17 (Paperback)

Paperback. Master the power of modern C++ and develop the skills needed to build robust, efficient, maintainable, and professional-quality software.Professional C++ Development with C++17 is a comprehensive guide designed to take you from the foundations of C++ programming to advanced concepts used in real-world software development. Whether you are learning C++ for the first time, transitioning from another programming language, or looking to strengthen your existing C++ skills, this book provides a structured path toward becoming a confident modern C++ developer.C++17 introduced powerful language improvements and practical features that make it easier to write expressive, efficient, and reliable code. This book explores these capabilities while also building a strong understanding of the core principles that have made C++ one of the most important programming languages for decades.You will begin with the fundamentals of C++, including variables, data types, operators, control flow, functions, arrays, strings, and program structure. From there, you will progress into object-oriented programming, where you will learn how to design programs using classes and objects, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction.As your knowledge develops, the book introduces more advanced areas of C++ development, including exception handling, lambda expressions, move semantics, concurrency, multithreading, file handling, debugging, performance considerations, and professional software-development practices.Inside this book, you will learn how to: Understand the fundamental principles of C++17 programmingWrite clean, structured, and maintainable C++ codeWork confidently with variables, data types, operators, and control structuresCreate and use functions effectivelyUnderstand arrays, strings, references, pointers, and memoryApply object-oriented programming principles in practical applicationsDesign classes and objects using encapsulation and abstractionUnderstand inheritance and polymorphismWork with constructors, destructors, and operator overloadingUse the Standard Template Library effectivelyWork with vectors, lists, maps, sets, stacks, queues, and other STL containersUse iterators and STL algorithms to write efficient programsUnderstand generic programming and function/class templatesUse lambda expressions and modern C++ featuresUnderstand move semantics and efficient resource managementManage dynamic memory safely using modern techniques and smart pointersHandle errors and exceptions appropriatelyRead from and write to filesUnderstand multithreading and concurrent programming conceptsImprove application performance and resource efficiencyOrganize larger programs using professional software-development practicesBuild a strong foundation for developing real-world C++ applicationsThroughout the book, emphasis is placed on writing code that is readable, reusable, efficient, and easier to maintain. The goal is to help you develop the problem-solving mindset and programming practices required for serious C++ development.Whether you are interested in application development, systems programming, game development, embedded systems, performance-oriented software, or simply want to develop a deeper understanding of one of the world's most powerful programming languages, this book provides a solid foundation for your journey.Professional C++ Development with C++17 is more than an introduction to C++. It is a practical learning guide for developing the knowledge, techniques, and confidence required to move from writing basic programs to designing sophisticated C++ software.<br Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
