Description

C++ is one of the most widely used programming languages. Fast, efficient, and flexible, it is used to solve many problems. In particular, it is the Standard Template Library (STL) that gives C++ its power. In this course, we show you how. Using real-world examples, we focus on how STL handles and manipulates data. We examine containers and iterators, and how data can be transformed into meaningful information using algorithms. There is coverage of I/O streams, strings and numerical methods, and how performance can be optimized through careful consideration of memory allocation and manipulation. We also demonstrate how multitasking and shared data is handled through concurrency and parallelism classes and utilities. By the end of the course, you will understand the newer aspects of C++ STL and will be able to overcome tasks that are time-consuming or would break your stride while developing. The code bundle for this course is available at: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/C-Standard-Template-Library-in-Practice

Who is this book for?

If you want to overcome difficult phases of development with C++ and leverage its features using modern programming practices, then this course is for you. This video course is designed for both experienced C++ programmers and people with some knowledge of OOP concepts.

What you will learn

Efficient and effective ways to store data using STL containers
Manage application performance using STL memory allocation classes, and enhance these classes by developing your allocation routines
