๐ Overview
C++ remains one of the most influential and widely used programming languages in the software development industry, renowned for its performance, versatility, and powerful feature set.
This book guides beginners and experienced developers through C++ โ from its rich history to modern features like templates, smart pointers, and concurrency. Youโll gain hands-on understanding of object-oriented programming, memory management, and the C++ Standard Library.
As you progress, youโll explore modern concepts introduced in C++11, C++17, C++20, and even C++23, enabling you to write efficient, safe, and future-ready code.
