Modern C++ with C++11: A Practical Guide to Modern Language Features and Software Development

By: Stone, Avery

C++11 marked one of the most significant turning points in the history of C++. It introduced a powerful collection of language and library improvements that fundamentally changed how developers write, design, and maintain C++ software.

Modern C++ with C++11 provides a practical introduction to the features and programming techniques that established the foundation of modern C++ development.

Instead of simply listing language features, this book focuses on how C++11 changes everyday software engineering. Through practical examples and realistic development scenarios, you'll learn how to replace fragile legacy techniques with safer, clearer, and more expressive approaches.

You'll explore modern resource management, move semantics, lambda expressions, type inference, concurrency, generic programming, and other capabilities that transformed the C++ development experience.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

Use auto and modern type inference effectivelyWrite expressive code with lambda expressionsManage resources with smart pointers and RAIIUnderstand move semantics and rvalue referencesBuild reusable components with variadic templatesUse constexpr for compile-time programmingWork with range-based for loops and modern initializationBuild concurrent applications with threads and synchronizationUse futures, promises, and asynchronous programming techniquesModernize older C++ code using C++11 techniquesDesign more maintainable and robust C++ applications

Whether you're coming from C++98, maintaining an older codebase, or building your foundation in modern C++, this book helps you understand the ideas that transformed C++ development and continue to influence the language today.
