C++ programmers around the world recognize Bjarne Stoustrup as the go-to expert for the absolutely authoritative and exceptionally useful information they need to write outstanding C++ programs. Now, as C++11 compilers arrive and development organizations migrate to the new standard, they know exactly where to turn once more: Stoustrup's C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition.
Why Read This Book
You should read this book if you plan to use modern C++ in firmware or systems code: it gives an authoritative, in-depth tour of C++11's language features and standard library from the language's creator, with attention to design, performance, and idioms you can apply to constrained or low-level environments. You'll learn the practical mechanics and rationale behind move semantics, RAII, templates, constexpr, and concurrency primitives so you can write safer, more efficient embedded software.
Who Will Benefit
Best suited for intermediate-to-senior firmware, systems, and embedded software engineers who are adopting modern C++ (C++11 and later) for performance-critical or low-level projects on microcontrollers, RTOS, or embedded Linux.
