Professional C++ Development with C++17

Master the power of modern C++ and develop the skills needed to build robust, efficient, maintainable, and professional-quality software.
Professional C++ Development with C++17 is a comprehensive guide designed to take you from the foundations of C++ programming to advanced concepts used in real-world software development. Whether you are learning C++ for the first time, transitioning from another programming language, or looking to strengthen your existing C++ skills, this book provides a structured path toward becoming a confident modern C++ developer.
C++17 introduced powerful language improvements and practical features that make it easier to write expressive, efficient, and reliable code. This book explores these capabilities while also building a strong understanding of the core principles that have made C++ one of the most important programming languages for decades.
You will begin with the fundamentals of C++, including variables, data types, operators, control flow, functions, arrays, strings, and program structure. From there, you will progress into object-oriented programming, where you will learn how to design programs using classes and objects, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction.
As your knowledge develops, the book introduces more advanced areas of C++ development, including exception handling, lambda expressions, move semantics, concurrency, multithreading, file handling, debugging, performance considerations, and professional software-development practices.
