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.
- 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
