Write Powerful, Modern C++ Code for Scientific, Engineering, and Embedded Applications.

Discovering Modern C++, Second Edition, will help you master valuable skills for programming with C++ at nearly every level, from "close to the hardware" to high-level abstractions. Updated for C++17 and C++ 20, this intensive introduction teaches C++ using realistic examples from diverse technical problem domains. Drawing on extensive experience teaching C++ to physicists, mathematicians, engineers, and students, Peter Gottschling guides you smoothly to sophisticated approaches based on advanced features.

Whatever your programming experience, you'll rapidly master increasingly powerful features, from lambdas to expression and variadic templates. Gottschling also shows you how to apply C++'s libraries: both the Standard Template Library (STL) and scientific libraries for arithmetic, linear algebra, differential equations, and graphs. Step by step, you'll learn to write clear and expressive code using object orientation, generics, metaprogramming, and procedural techniques, and master all the abstractions you need to write high-quality, well-performing software.

Reasons to Learn C++:
Like no other language, C++ masters the full spectrum from programming sufficiently close to the hardware on one end to abstract high-level programming on the other. The lower-level programming—like user-definable memory management—empowers you as a programmer to understand what really happens during execution, which in turn helps you understand the behavior of programs in other languages. In C++ you can write extremely efficient programs that can only be slightly outperformed by code written in machine language with ridiculous effort. However, you should wait a little with the hardcore performance tuning and focus first on clear and expressive software.

Quickly master core features: variables, operators, expressions, statements, functions, error handling, I/O, arrays, pointers, references, and more
Make the most of classes and object-oriented programming, from constructors/destructors to operator overloading and multiple inheritance
Apply advanced generic programming and template-based techniques
Use C++’s libraries to write more robust and powerful code more quickly
Explore metaprogramming in depth, and master cutting-edge optimization techniques
Walk through representative scientific projects, and create your own
