Book Description

C++ is one of the most widely used programming languages. It is fast, flexible, and efficient which is used to solve many programming problems.

The objective of this Learning Path is to make you familiar and comfortable with C++. You will become familiar with the constructs of the C++ programming by learning about the language structures, functions, and classes which will help you identify the execution flow through the code. You will explore and understand the importance of the C++ standard library as well as memory allocation for writing better and faster programs.

This Learning Path also deals with understanding the challenges that come with advanced C++ programming. You will learn about advanced topics such as multithreading, networking, concurrency, performance, meta-programming, lambda expressions, regular expressions, testing, and many more in the form of recipes.

By the end of this Learning Path, you will become an expert in C++.

This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products:

• Beginning C++ Programming by Richard Grimes
• Modern C++ Programming Cookbook by Marius Bancila
• The Modern C++ Challenge by Marius Bancila
