Modern C++ for Absolute Beginners: A Friendly Introduction to the C++ Programming Language and C++11 to C++23 Standards (Paperback)

Learn the C++ programming language in a structured, straightforward, and friendly manner. This book teaches the basics of the modern C++ programming language, the C++ Standard Library, and modern C++ standards, including C++23. No previous programming experience is required.
C++ is a language like no other, surprising in its complexity, yet wonderfully sleek and elegant in so many ways. It is also a language that cannot be learned by guessing, one that is easy to get wrong and challenging to get right. To overcome this, each section is filled with real-world examples that gradually increase in complexity. Modern C++ for Absolute Beginners, Second Edition teaches more than just programming in C++23. It provides a solid C++ foundation to build upon.
The author takes you through the C++ programming language, the Standard Library, and C++11 to C++23 standard basics. Each chapter is accompanied by the right amount of theory and plenty of source code examples. You will work with C++23 features and standards, yet you will also compare and take a look into previous versions of C++.
After reading this book, you'll be able to start programming in modern C++ standards. You will do so with plenty of relevant source code examples, freely available via a dedicated GitHub repository.
What You Will Learn

Who This Book Is For
Beginner or novice programmers who wish to learn C++ programming. No prior programming experience is required.

以結構化、直觀且友善的方式學習C++程式語言。本書教授現代C++程式語言的基礎、C++標準程式庫以及現代C++標準，包括C++23。不需要任何先前的程式設計經驗。

C++是一種獨特的程式語言，它的複雜性令人驚訝，但在許多方面卻非常精簡和優雅。然而，這也是一種不能通過猜測學習的語言，容易出錯且難以正確掌握。為了克服這個問題，每個章節都充滿了逐漸增加複雜性的實際範例。

《現代C++程式設計入門，第二版》不僅教授C++23的程式設計，還提供了堅實的C++基礎供讀者建立。作者帶領讀者深入了解C++程式語言、標準程式庫以及C++11到C++23的基礎知識。每個章節都附有適量的理論和大量的原始碼範例。讀者將使用C++23的功能和標準，同時也會比較並瞭解以前的C++版本。

閱讀完本書後，您將能夠開始使用現代C++標準進行程式設計。書中提供了大量相關的原始碼範例，可以在專用的GitHub存儲庫中免費獲取。

您將學到以下內容：
- 以友善而有效的方式介紹現代C++
- 使用C++的基礎知識：類型、運算符、變量、常量、表達式、引用、函數、類、輸入/輸出、智能指針、多態性等
- 在Windows上設置Visual Studio環境，在Linux上使用GCC編寫自己的程式碼
- 声明和定義函數、類和對象，並將程式碼組織成命名空間
- 探索面向對象的程式設計：類和對象、封裝、繼承、多態性等，使用最先進的C++功能
- 在組織原始碼和控制程式流程方面遵循最佳實踐
- 熟悉C++語言的注意事項和禁忌，以及其他內容
- 管理lambda、繼承、多態性、智能指針、模板、模組、契約、概念等基礎知識

本書適合初學者或新手程式設計師學習C++程式設計。不需要任何先前的程式設計經驗。
