Objectives

In this chapter, you’ll:

Quickly get a “40,000-foot view” of this book’s architecture and coverage of the large, complex and powerful programming language that is C++20.
Test-drive compiling and running a C++ application using our three preferred compilers—Visual C++ in Microsoft Visual Studio on Windows, Clang C++ in Xcode on macOS and GNU g++ on Linux.
See how to execute Docker containers for the g++ and clang++ command-line compilers, so you can use these compilers on Windows, macOS or Linux.
See resources where you can learn about C++’s history and milestones over 40+ years.
Understand why concurrent programming is crucial in Modern C++ for getting maximum performance from ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

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.

Field Engineer

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.

Data Platform Tech Lead

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.
