Using a programming language in production-ready projects is a whole new step in learning the language itself. Sometimes, the simple examples in this book may take a different approach or face many difficulties in real-world programs. When theory meets practice is when you learn the language. C++ is not an exception. It's different to learn syntax, solve some book problems, or understand somewhat simple examples in books. When creating real-world applications, we face a different range of challenges, and sometimes books lack the theory to back the practical issues on the road.
In this chapter, we will try to cover the basics of practical programming with C++ that will help you to tackle real-world applications better. Complex projects require a lot of thinking and designing. Sometimes, programmers have to completely rewrite the project and...
