- Basis & Design: Een "crash course" in C++ en herbruikbaar objectgeoriënteerd ontwerp.
- Standard Library: Diepgaande uitleg over containers, algoritmen en de nieuwe Ranges bibliotheek.
- Geavanceerd: Multithreading, metaprogrammering met templates en geheugenbeheer.
- Software Engineering: Best practices voor testen, debugging en efficiëntie.

Specificaties

• Auteur: Marc Gregoire, een Microsoft Visual C++ MVP en oprichter van de Belgische C++ gebruikersgroep.
• Lengte: Circa 1250-1312 pagina's.
• ISBN-13: 978-1119695400.

Gebruikerservaringen

Recensenten op platforms zoals Amazon prijzen de inhoud als "de definitieve C++-bijbel" vanwege de actualiteit en heldere uitleg. Een veelgenoemd minpunt is echter de fysieke kwaliteit van het boek; veel lezers merken op dat het papier erg dun is, waardoor tekst van de achterzijde soms doorschijnt.

Let op: Inmiddels is ook de 6de editie verschenen, die C++23 behandelt.

From the Inside Flap

Embrace C++ depth and complexity to discover just how much it can do

C++ is notoriously difficult to master, but its wide-ranging capabilities have made it the most common language for gaming and commercial software applications. Even experienced users are typically unfamiliar with many advanced features, but the release of C++20 presents the perfect opportunity to explore the language's full capabilities. This new fifth edition of Professional C++ provides a code-intensive, solutions-oriented guide to everything C++ has to offer, including the newest tools and features in the latest release. Packed with practical instructions geared toward real-world programming, this book is the programmer's ideal opportunity to dig deeper into C++. The fifth edition covers C++20.

Professional C++:

• Demonstrates how to think in C++ to maximize the language's far-reaching capabilities and develop effective solutions
• Explains poorly understood elements, warns against pitfalls, and shares tips, tricks, and workarounds for efficiency and performance
• Presents a variety of challenging, real-world program segments versatile enough to plug into any project
• Highlights the new features of C++20 including modules, concepts, three-way comparisons, immediate functions, and much more
• Features in-depth discussions of new C++20 Standard Library features, such as text formatting, ranges, atomic smart pointers, synchronization primitives, dates, time zones, and more

Wrox Professional guides are written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day. They provide examples, practical solutions, and expert education in new technologies, all designed to help programmers do a better job.

"As new programmers turn (or return) to C++ for demanding code, and C++ itself evolves with C++20 being the biggest release of C++ in nearly a decade, there's a real need for up-to-date guidance. Writing C++20 code often feels like writing in a fresh new language, and so it's wonderful to see someone like Marc, a well-known and experienced C++ trainer, bring this book to help everyone absorb the new C++ with a fresh look at a refreshed language." --Herb Sutter

Even if you have used the language for years, you might still be unfamiliar with the more advanced features of C++, or you might not be using the full capabilities of the language. Perhaps you write competent C++ code but would like to learn more about design and good programming style in C++. Or maybe you're relatively new to C++ but want to learn the "right" way to program from the start. This book will meet those needs and bring your C++ skills to the professional level. Because this book focuses on advancing from basic or intermediate knowledge of C++ to becoming a professional C++ programmer, it assumes that you have some knowledge about programming. Chapter 1, "A Crash Course in C++ and the Standard Library," covers the basics of C++ as a refresher, but it is not a substitute for actual training in programming. If you are just starting with C++ but you have significant experience in another programming language such as C, Java, or C#, you should be able to pick up most of what you need from Chapter 1.

In any case, you should have a solid foundation in programming fundamentals. You should know about loops, functions, and variables. You should know how to structure a program, and you should be familiar with fundamental techniques such as recursion. You should have some knowledge of common data structures such as queues, and useful algorithms such as sorting and searching. You don't need to know about object-oriented programming just yet -- that is covered in Chapter 5, "Designing with Objects." You will also need to be familiar with the compiler you will be using to compile your code. Two compilers, Microsoft Visual C++ and GCC, are introduced later in this introduction. For other compilers, refer to the documentation that came with your compiler.

Keynote Speaker: Marc Gregoire

Marc Gregoire is a C++ blogger and author of Professional C++ and co-author of C++ Standard Library Quick Reference. He is a software architect at Nikon Metrology with experience developing C++ programs running 24/7 on Windows and Linux and is the founder of the Belgian C++ Users Group.

The title of Marc's talk is C++20: An (Almost) Complete Overview. C++20 is going be discussed quite a bit at this year's conference and in addition to providing an overview of the new language/library changes, Marc will guide you to other CppCon talks on C++20.

If you want a complete overview of all C++20 features, including references to other more deep-dive sessions at CppCon 2020 on certain topics, then this session is for you.

Marc's talk will give you the confidence and familiarity you need to embrace the latest version of C++.

From his talk's description:

This presentation gives an overview of (almost) all new features in both the language and the Standard Library. Some more exotic features will be left out. New language features include

modules,
coroutines,
concepts,
templated lambdas,
constexpr changes,
designated initializers,
the spaceship operator,
string literals as template parameters,
feature test macros,
conditional explicit,
immediate functions,
and more.

A look ahead at C++23

The next release of the C++ standard is scheduled for 2023, introducing several new features to both the language and the Standard Library.

This session gives a sneak peek at those new upcoming features. It starts by demonstrating approved features, after which we'll go a bit deeper in on even more features that are planned for C++23.

The session will discuss C++23 approved features, such as the stacktrace library, consteval if statements, std::span-based stringstreams, overloading of multidimensional subscript operators, decay copy, improvements to the ranges library, heterogeneous erase overloads for associative containers, improvements to C++20 std::format, and more.
