Overview
Learn C++ in Just One Hour a Day
Completely updated for the C++11 standard, Sams Teach Yourself
C++ in One Hour a Day presents the language from a practical
point of view, helping you learn how to use C++11 to create faster,
simpler, and more efficient C++ applications.
Master the fundamentals of C++ and object-oriented programming
Understand how C++11 features help you write compact and efficient code using concepts such as lambda expressions, move constructors, and assignment operators
Learn the Standard Template Library, including containers and algorithms used in most real-world C++ applications
Test your knowledge and expertise using exercises at the end of every lesson
Learn on your own time, at your own pace:
No previous programming experience required
Learn C++11, object-oriented programming, and analysis
Write fast and powerful C++ programs, compile the source code with a gcc compiler, and create executable files
Use the Standard Template Library’s (STL) algorithms and containers to write feature-rich yet stable C++ applications
Develop sophisticated programming techniques using lambda expressions, smart pointers, and move constructors
Learn to expand your program’s power with inheritance and polymorphism
Master the features of C++ by learning from programming experts
Learn C++11 features that allow you to program compact and high-performance C++ applications

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.Amir M.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
