Are you an experienced C++ programmer, but you have not used the language for several years? You may have heard that there have been many changes to C++ over the last decade or so, but you have not had time to keep up with them. Besides, your C++ skills may have gone a little rusty due to lack of use, and perhaps there were one or two things you never quite grasped the first time round.
I was in the same situation a few years ago. I managed to teach myself from various books, websites and videos, but it would have been so much easier if there had been one single place where I could have gone to update my C++ knowledge. To help out other people in a similar situation, I created an online course on Udemy, Update to Modern C++, in which I set out to provide everything I wish I had known at that time. This course proved very successful, and I have now decided to publish it as a book.
This book is intended for programmers who have at least an Intermediate knowledge of C++ and have a good working knowledge of features like STL and virtual functions.
For the chapters on threads, you will need to have some basic knowledge of multithreading concepts (in any language.)
The source code for all the examples is available for download from my github repository.
