Modern C++ for Embedded Systems Development: A Practical Guide to Building Efficient, Scalable, and Maintainable Firmware Using C++17 and C++20

By Joel Natty

Break free from the limits of C and unlock the true power of modern C++ in embedded systems-without sacrificing performance.

Are you tired of writing messy, error-prone embedded code in C? Are you worried that using C++ might slow down your firmware or make things more complex?

This book is here to prove the opposite.

In Modern C++ for Embedded Systems Development, you'll learn step-by-step how to move from traditional C to modern, safe, and powerful C++17 and C++20-even on small, resource-constrained devices. Whether you're building firmware for sensors, microcontrollers, or real-time systems, this guide will show you how to write cleaner, faster, and more scalable code using today's best C++ techniques.

What makes this book different?

Start simple: Perfect for C developers who want a practical introduction to modern C++No fluff, just real-world examples: Learn by building real firmware components, not toy programsPerformance-first mindset: Discover how to use zero-cost abstractions, compile-time programming, and RAII to write fast and efficient codeMemory-safe and bug-resistant: Use strong typing, safe error handling, and modern design patterns to write more reliable firmwareC++17 & C++20 features made easy: Templates, lambdas, static assertions, type safety, constexpr-explained in a simple, hands-on wayWorks in the real world: Learn how to integrate with C libraries, manage hardware, and write portable, scalable code for embedded teams

Whether you're working solo or leading a development team, this book gives you the skills and confidence to scale modern C++ across your projects-and transform how you write embedded software.

Who is this book for?

Embedded engineers who mainly use C and want to move into C++C++ developers looking to apply their skills in the embedded worldFirmware teams ready to modernize and improve their codebaseAnyone curious about applying modern programming techniques to small systems

Don't get left behind in the past.
Modern C++ is not just for desktops or big systems anymore-it's the future of embedded development.

With this book, you'll learn how to harness its full power to write firmware that is easier to maintain, safer to extend, and optimized for performance-right down to the metal.
