Key benefits

  • Become familiar with the latest features of C++20 and write better code using the STL
  • Reduce the development time for your applications and enable faster deployment
  • Get up and running with the new and leaner STL capabilities introduced in the latest release

Description

Fast, efficient, and flexible, the C++ programming language has come a long way and is used in every area of the industry to solve many problems. The latest version C++20 will see programmers change the way they code as it brings a whole array of features enabling the quick deployment of applications. This book will get you up and running with using the STL in the best way possible. Beginning with new language features in C++20, this book will help you understand the language's mechanics and library features and offer insights into how they work. Unlike other books, the C++20 STL Cookbook takes an implementation-specific, problem-solution approach that will help you overcome hurdles quickly. You'll learn core STL concepts, such as containers, algorithms, utility classes, lambda expressions, iterators, and more, while working on real-world recipes. This book is a reference guide for using the C++ STL with its latest capabilities and exploring the cutting-edge features in functional programming and lambda expressions. By the end of the book C++20 book, you'll be able to leverage the latest C++ features and save time and effort while solving tasks elegantly using the STL.

Who is this book for?

This book is for intermediate to advanced C++ programmers who want to get the most out of the Standard Template Library of C++20, the newest version of C++. Basic knowledge of coding and C++ concepts is necessary to get started with this book.

What you will learn

  • Understand the new language features and the problems they can solve
  • Implement generic features of the STL with practical examples
  • Understand standard support classes for concurrency and synchronization
  • Perform efficient memory management using the STL
  • Implement seamless formatting using std::format
  • Work with strings the STL way instead of handcrafting C-style code

First things first, STL used to be a double-edge sword and there are still some caveats due to various reasonsLuckily, C++ community is working hard to improve the language and fill the gaps to allow C++ to have "modern syntactic sugar" and C++ 20 reflects thisThe book is super easy to follow, I think even if you don't know much of C++ you can easily follow the "recipes" because it's "just enough code"Also, the book approaches other C++ 20 features like:- strings (seem to be trivial but bad usage of string formatting is one of the causes for most security vulnerabilities)- threads- iterators (the generators part is super cool! feels like python programming)- lambdasSome highlights:- explains C++ 20 STL features with "recipes"/examples including also the compilers who are supposed to have mature C++ 20 support- there is a specific recipe on how to avoid recompiling template which is interesting because it used to be a major problem (I have saw projects that would take hours to compile even on new hardware due to the heavy usage of templates)- string handling- threads with futures- iterators and lambdasWhile I understand that STL is the core of the bookOnce it extrapolates the STL scope when it talks about threads, strings and file system, I wish it could also consider the following:- I missed the compilation flag to enable C++ 20 support on gcc, clang, msvc (I don't recall seeing it although it is a really small thing)- coroutinesOverall it's a great introduction to STL and some nice modern features of C++

I am a seasoned C++ programmer and read this book to see if I could learn something new. I was impressed with how thoroughly the author covered the C++ Standard Template Library (STL). The book is clearly written for C++ developers, and I highly recommend it if you want to increase your C++ programming prowess.Packt Publishing’s cookbook format is ideally suited for this content. The recipes are organized into 11 categories. Each recipe contains sections on ‘how to do it’ and ‘how it works.’ Many of the sections also include ‘see also’ or ‘there’s more’ that includes related and deeper concepts. The book does start with an STL primer, albeit short. This is okay as it is written for current C++ developers. Before diving into the individual recipes, the book covers new features that C++20 adds to the STL. The publisher has made all the book’s code available via GitHub.This book will be a great addition to your C++ library, at least until the C++23 standard is finalized in 2023.

The media could not be loaded. This is a new release by Packt books written by BIll Weinman. This book is jam packed with recipes to help you understand how to use the latest features of the C++ Standard. It covers a very wide range of topics and has plenty of small follow along projects to let you practice what you are learning. I did not really find anything bad about this book, except maybe that the code snippets were not placed in code-blocks like they usually are but besides that the book is a great book. It starts out letting you know exactly what compiler versions you will need, because that is pretty important, as the older GCC compilers will not allow you to follow along so make sure you read the introduction and beginning where it gets into what you will actually need for this book. A few of the examples only work with the latest MSVC compiler so if you are not using that then you may need to skip over trying out some of the features but otherwise everything worked like a charm. All the code is available on GitHub as well which makes it easy to download and follow along to. I highly recommend for anyone who uses C++.

This is a fantastic book and I like the writing style of Bill Weinman. I have found this book to be an invaluable reference that has helped me get the most out of the new features that C++ 20 adds to the STL. I have now started to include concepts from this book into parts of my C++ code base modernisation.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
