Book Description

C++ ​ ​has ​ ​come ​ ​a ​ ​long ​ ​way ​ ​and ​ ​has ​ ​now ​ ​been ​ ​adopted ​ ​in ​ ​several ​ ​contexts. Its ​ ​key ​ ​strengths ​ ​are ​ ​its ​ ​software ​ ​infrastructure ​ ​and ​ ​resource-constrained applications. ​ ​The ​C++ ​ ​17 ​ ​release ​ ​will ​ ​change ​ ​the ​ ​way ​ ​developers ​ ​write code, ​ ​and ​ ​this ​ ​book ​ ​will ​ ​help ​you ​ ​master ​ ​your ​ ​developing ​ ​skills ​ ​with ​ ​C++. With ​ ​real-world, ​ ​practical ​ ​examples ​ ​explaining ​ ​each ​ ​concept, ​ ​the ​ ​book ​ ​will begin ​ ​by ​ ​introducing ​ ​you ​ ​to ​ ​the ​ ​latest ​ ​features ​ ​in ​ ​C++ ​ ​17. ​ ​It ​ ​encourages clean ​ ​code ​ ​practices ​ ​in ​ ​C++ ​ ​in ​ ​general, ​ ​and ​ ​demonstrates ​ ​the ​ ​GUI app-development ​ ​options ​ ​in ​ ​C++. ​ ​You'll ​ ​get ​ ​tips ​ ​on ​ ​avoiding ​ ​memory ​ ​leaks using ​ ​smart-pointers. ​ ​Next, ​ ​you'll ​ ​see ​ ​how ​ ​multi-threaded ​programming can ​ ​help ​ ​you ​ ​achieve ​ ​concurrency ​ ​in ​ ​your ​ ​applications. Moving ​ ​on, ​ ​you'll ​ ​get ​ ​an ​ ​in-depth ​ ​understanding ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​C++ ​ ​Standard Template ​ ​Library. ​ ​We ​ ​show ​ ​you ​ ​the ​ ​concepts ​ ​of ​ ​implementing ​ ​TDD ​ ​and BDD ​ ​in ​ ​your ​ ​C++ ​ ​programs, ​ ​and ​ ​explore ​ ​template-based ​ ​generic programming, ​ ​giving ​ ​you ​ ​the ​ ​expertise ​ ​to ​ ​build ​ ​powerful ​ ​applications. Finally, ​ ​we'll ​ ​round ​ ​up ​ ​with ​ ​debugging ​ ​techniques ​ ​and ​ ​best ​ ​practices.By ​ ​the ​ ​end ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​book, ​ ​you'll ​ ​have ​ ​an ​ ​in-depth ​ ​understanding ​ ​of ​ ​the language ​ ​and ​ ​its ​ ​various ​ ​facets.
