C++17 - The Complete Guide: First Edition Paperback – September 6, 2019

I've read about 1/3 of a book, so far. Very pleased to say "typical Josuttis": very clear, a book can be both, a textbook and a reference at the same time. I bought this book because I've read all editions of his STL tutorial and templates guide (written together with David Vandevoorde) (i.e. made a choice base on a name) and very happy I did.

After going through Josuttis' "C++ Templates 2nd Ed.," I decided to pick up this book. I am thoroughly impressed with "C++ 17 - The Complete Guide." After attending two CppCon conferences and reading a number of other C++17 books, I thought I was fairly well-versed in C++17 but Josuttis' masterful showed me how I still have to learn! His style of presenting the tricky details via examples is great and illustrates the nooks-and-crannies of the language. Very clear and well-written.

This book is a very solid introductory reference piece to the C++ 17 features (NEW & renewed), and goes through the bullet points of the recommendations of the pros and cons. Within those points of emphasis it does go through the additions to the language since C++ 11 and BEFORE - the good, the bad, and the "ugly" of the ilk. It also does some highlighting of the successor to it, C++ 20 - and to a certain degree the impending C++ 23 (they tease you with the brief "trailer" of how ++23 will improve upon memory & pointer interaction - WITHOUT actually referring to it as ++23). It separates the chapters uniformly and logically, and does some pretty good depth building by gradually putting things in the order that many C++ books don't. There are some small flaws that make this a 4.7/4.8 star book RATHER than a FULL 5. I've noticed 3 or 4 typos that do make certain sections of coding examples slightly hard to follow, but nothing fatal or terminal in the end view. Another small "ding," is how they seem to skip over some basic intricacies between updates of C++ before C++ 17, but that might be JUST me. That might be a bigger deal to me than to others - and if those points are important to you, there are books that do emphasize those things more precisely. All and all, a very solidly precise and easily understandable introductory voyage to C++ 17.

As a professional software engineer I believe that C++17 is essential knowledge for all modern software engineers. Ive been a C/C++ developer for 20 years and find C++17 to be a very good language for system and data science programming. This book was useful to learn some of the finer points of C++17 software development.

This is the 3rd book written (or co-authored) by Nicolai Josuttis that I have purchased. They are good books for programmers already experienced in C++, but not designed for learning from scratch. I find them to be invaluable references for C++, especially as the language evolves. Some of the topics are a bit more terse than I prefer, but once I read about new language concepts, I can search online for more detailed information. As long as the author continues writing books, I will continue to purchase them.

All of , Nicolai M. Josuttis and his partners create a very well written book and which include clear examples on the features that are being demonstrated on paper. I purchased this book and has been worth itThanks Again Great Job

So far I've read the first five chapters. I like this book because it is succinct. It gets right to the point. Nikolai has been involved with C++ standardization for 20 years.

Quick delivery. Thanks. Recommend.
