Modern C++ Mastery: Patterns, Tooling, and Performance for 21st-Century C++

By AMARA HAWTHORN

From C++17 through C++23 and beyond, this book goes far past syntax to show you how expert C++ engineers actually design, build, and optimize real-world systems. Whether you're modernizing legacy code or architecting high-performance software from scratch, Modern C++ Mastery gives you the patterns, tools, and performance insights used by professionals in game engines, finance, embedded systems, and large-scale platforms.

What makes this book a bestseller

Modern design patterns, reimagined for C++
Learn how classic patterns evolve with smart pointers, move semantics, constexpr, concepts, and modules.

Tooling that multiplies your productivity
Master CMake, package managers, sanitizers, static analysis, profiling, and modern debugging workflows that professionals rely on daily.

Performance without guesswork
Understand memory models, cache behavior, allocators, concurrency, and zero-cost abstractions-so you optimize with confidence, not folklore.

Practical, production-ready examples
Every concept is reinforced with real code, performance measurements, and trade-off discussions.

Clear guidance for modernizing legacy C++
Safely refactor old codebases into modern, expressive, and maintainable C++.

You'll learn how to

Design expressive APIs using modern language features

Write safer code with RAII, value semantics, and strong invariants

Leverage compile-time programming for speed and correctness

Build scalable, maintainable systems with modern build and testing tools

Measure, analyze, and optimize performance like a professional

Who this book is for

Intermediate to advanced C++ developers

Engineers working on performance-critical systems

Teams transitioning from legacy C++ to modern standards

Anyone who wants to write C++ that is fast, elegant, and future-proof

Modern C++ Mastery doesn't just teach you what modern C++ features exist-it shows you how to think in modern C++, so your code stays relevant, efficient, and maintainable for years to come.
