Modern C++ for Absolute Beginners: A Friendly Introduction to the C++ Programming Language and C++11 to C++26 Standards

By Slobodan Dmitrovic

Learn the C++ programming language in a structured, straightforward, and friendly manner. This book teaches the basics of the modern C++ programming language, the C++ Standard Library, and modern C++ standards, including C++26. No previous programming experience is required.

C++ is a language like no other, surprising in its complexity, yet wonderfully sleek and elegant in so many ways. It is also a language that cannot be learned by guessing, one that is easy to get wrong and challenging to get right. To overcome this, each section is filled with real-world examples that gradually increase in complexity. Modern C++ for Absolute Beginners, Third Edition teaches more than just programming in C++26. The author takes you through the C++ programming language, the Standard Library, and C++11 to C++26 standard basics. Each chapter is accompanied by the right amount of theory and plenty of source code examples. You will work with C++26 features and standards, yet you will also compare and take a look into previous versions of C++.

Whether you're just starting with C++ or returning after a break, this book equips you with a strong foundation in modern C++ through clear examples, hands-on projects, and an engaging, fatigue-free writing style.
