An Introduction to Programming by the Inventor of C++
Preparation for Programming in the Real World
The book assumes that you aim eventually to write non-trivial programs, whether for work in software development or in some other technical field.
Focus on Fundamental Concepts and Techniques
The book explains fundamental concepts and techniques in greater depth than traditional introductions. This approach will give you a solid foundation for writing useful, correct, maintainable, and efficient code.
Programming with Today’s C++ (C++11 and C++14)
The book is an introduction to programming in general, including object-oriented programming and generic programming. It is also a solid introduction to the C++ programming language, one of the most widely used languages for real-world software. The book presents modern C++ programming techniques from the start,
introducing the C++ standard library and C++11 and C++14 features to simplify programming tasks.
For Beginners—And Anyone Who Wants to Learn Something New
The book is primarily designed for people who have never programmed before, and it has been tested with many thousands of first-year university students. It has also been extensively used for self-study. Also, practitioners and advanced students have gained new insight and guidance by seeing how a master approaches the elements of his art.
Provides a Broad View
The first half of the book covers a wide range of essential concepts, design and programming techniques, language features, and libraries. Those will enable you to write programs involving input, output, computation, and simple graphics. The second half explores more specialized topics (such as text processing, testing, and the C programming language) and provides abundant reference material. Source code and support supplements are available from the author’s website.
From the Publisher
New edition of Bjarne’s Stroustrup’s “A Tour of C++” now available
This third edition covers many features that are new in C++20 as implemented by major C++ suppliers, including modules, concepts, coroutines, and ranges. It even introduces some library components in current use that are not scheduled for inclusion in the standard until C++23.

Who is this for
Programmers experienced with another language that want to learn C++20. Those with backgrounds in the sciences that want to learn C++20, regardless of programming experience. C++ programmers with all levels of experience. C++ programmers with all levels of experience. C++ programmers with all levels of experience. Those with little or no programming experience.
Approach
Hands-on instruction, including 200+, real-world examples to help you quickly master C++20, its “Big Four” features (Ranges, Concepts, Modules and Coroutines), and idioms using popular compilers. Drawing on extensive experience teaching C++ to physicists, mathematicians, engineers, and students, this intensive introduction guides you smoothly to sophisticated approaches based on advanced features. Identifies 30 Core Guidelines you’ll find especially valuable and offers detailed practical knowledge for improving your C++ style through useful conceptual insights and expert sample code. Condenses the C++ Core Guidelines to their essence, removing esoterica, sharing new insights and context, and presenting well-tested examples to help you write more elegant C++ programs and improve legacy code. Distills the C++ community’s years of experience applying C++11 and C++14 features to help you make effective and safe design decisions that reflect real-world, economic engineering tradeoffs in large-scale, diverse software development environments. This complete tutorial will help you quickly master the basics of object-oriented programming and teach you advanced C++ language features and concepts.

“This is a fine book that covers a surprising amount of the very large language that is C++20—an in-depth treatment of C++ for a reader familiar with how things work in other programming languages.” —Arthur O’Dwyer, C++ trainer ” For true geeks, it is an easy and entertaining read. For most software developers, it offers something new and useful.” –Bjarne Stroustrup, inventor of C++ and co-editor of the C++ Core Guidelines “We are very pleased to see Rainer Grimm applying his teaching skills and industrial background to tackling the hard and necessary task of making [these] accessible to more people.” –Bjarne Stroustrup and Herb Sutter, co-editors, C++ Core Guidelines
