Learn the C++ Programming Language in a Structured, Straightforward, and Friendly Manner

C++ is a language that demands structure, clarity, and precision, yet it possesses a remarkable elegance and simplicity. It is a language that cannot be learned through guesswork, as it is easy to get wrong and challenging to get right. To overcome this challenge, each section in this book is filled with real-world examples that gradually increase in complexity.

Modern C++ for Absolute Beginners, Second Edition, goes beyond just programming in C++23. It provides a solid foundation for C++ programming, enabling you to build upon it. The author takes you through the C++ programming language, the Standard Library, and C++11 to C++23 standard basics. Each chapter is accompanied by the right amount of theory and plenty of source code examples. You will work with C++23 features and standards, yet you will also compare and take a look into previous versions of C++.

Upon completing this book, you will be able to start programming in modern C++ standards. You will do so with plenty of relevant source code examples, freely available via a dedicated GitHub repository.
