Learning Modern C++ for Finance: Foundations for Quantitative Programming

By Steven R. Calabrese

This practical book demonstrates why C++ is still one of the dominant production-quality languages for financial applications and systems. Many programmers believe that C++ is too difficult to learn. Author Daniel Hanson demonstrates that this is no longer the case, thanks to modern features added to the C++ Standard beginning in 2011.

Financial programmers will discover how to leverage C++ abstractions that enable safe implementation of financial models. You'll also explore how popular open source libraries provide additional weapons for attacking mathematical problems. C++ programmers unfamiliar with financial applications also benefit from this handy guide. Learn C++ basics from a modern perspective: syntax, inheritance, polymorphism, composition, STL containers, and algorithms Dive into newer features and abstractions including functional programming using lambdas, task-based concurrency, and smart pointers Implement basic numerical routines in modern C++ Understand best practices for writing clean and efficient code
