Overview
Master C++ the right way: From the software engineering perspective!
Master C++ the right way!
Object-oriented approach to coding throughout
Harness C++'s strengths; avoid its dangers
Build more easily maintainable code
Build more powerful, robust, maintainable C++ software!
For developers with experience in any language, Victor Shtern's Core C++ teaches C++ the right way: by applying the best software engineering practices and methodologies to programming in C++. Even if you've already worked with C++, this comprehensive book will show you how to build code that is more robust, far easier to maintain and modify, and far more valuable.
Shtern's book teaches object-oriented principles before teaching the language, helping you derive all the power of object-oriented development to build superior software. Learn how to make design decisions based on key criteria such as information hiding and pushing responsibilities from clients down to server classes. Then, master every key feature of ANSI/ISO C++ from a software engineer's perspective: classes, methods, const modifiers, dynamic memory management, class composition, inheritance, polymorphism, I/O, and much more.
If you want to build outstanding C++ software, coding skill isn't enough. Objects aren't enough. You must design, think, and program using today's best software engineering practices — and with Core C++, you will.
So, Core C++ delivers:
The application of software engineering principles to C++ programming
A strong emphasis on writing code for easier future maintainance and modification
A practical understanding of object-oriented principles before teaching the language
Insight into the latest ANSI/ISO C++ features
Thorough explanations that respect your intelligence
Hundreds of realistic, to-the-point code examples
Levity Breaks: Stories and vignettes that illustrate key topics, concepts, and ideas through humor
Every core series book:
Demonstrates practical techniques used by professional developers.
Features robust, thoroughly tested sample code and realistic examples.
Focuses on the cutting-edge technologies you need to master today.
Provides expert advice that will help you build superior software.

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.
