C++ Crash Course is an in-depth and fast-paced guide to modern C++ designed specifically for experienced programmers. It covers core language concepts, the C++ Standard Library, and the Boost Libraries to equip you with the proficiency needed to write efficient, readable code. Geared towards intermediate to advanced programmers, the course offers a thorough exploration of C++17, the most recent revision of the ISO standard.
In Part 1, the focus is on core elements of the C++ language, including types, functions, object life cycle, and expressions. Part 2 introduces the C++ Standard Library and Boost Libraries, delving into high-quality facilities such as special utility classes, data structures, algorithms, file system manipulation, and the development of high-performance network programs.
This comprehensive course covers all major features of modern C++, encompassing topics such as fundamental types, reference types, user-defined types, object lifecycle, polymorphism, expressions, statements, functions, smart pointers, data structures, dates and times, numerical and statistical facilities, containers, iterators, strings, algorithms, streams and files, concurrency, networking, and application development.
The course contains a comprehensive collection of more than 500 code samples and nearly 100 exercises, all thoughtfully curated to assist you in laying a robust groundwork in C++ programming.
