A Brief Introduction to C++
This book aims to provide you with a solid foundation to write efficient applications, as well as an insight into strategies for implementing libraries in modern C++. IÂ have tried to take a practical approach to explain how C++ works today, where modern features from C++11 up to C++20 are a natural part of the language, rather than looking at C++ historically.
In this chapter, we will:
- Cover some of the features of C++ that are important for writing robust, high-performance applications
- Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of C++ over competing languages
- Go over the libraries and compilers used in this book
