Coming to grips with C++11 and C++14 is more than a matter of familiarizing your self with the features they introduce (e.g., auto type declarations, move semant ics, lambda expressions, and concurrency support). The challenge is learning to use those features effectively—so that your software is correct, efficient, main tainable, and portable. That’s where this practical book comes in. It describes how to write truly great software using C++11 and C++14—i.e. using modern C++. Topics include:The pros and cons of braced initialization, noexcept specificat ions, perfect forwarding, and smart pointer make functionsThe relationships am ong std::move, std::forward, rvalue references, and universal referencesTechni ques for writing clear, correct, effective lambda expressionsHow std::atomic d iffers from volatile, how each should be used, and how they relate to C++'s conc urrency APIHow best practices in ""old"" C++ programming (i.e., C++98) require r evision for software development in modern C++Effective Modern C++ follows the proven guideline-based, example-driven format of Scott Meyers' earlier books, b ut covers entirely new material.""After I learned the C++ basics, I then learne d how to use C++ in production code from Meyer's series of Effective C++ books. Effective Modern C++ is the most important how-to book for advice on key guideli nes, styles, and idioms to use modern C++ effectively and well. Don't own it yet ? Buy this one.
