in plain english

Modern C++ Tutorial is a concise, practical book for developers who already know traditional C++ (the version from around 1998 or earlier) and want to learn the new features added in C++11, C++14, C++17, and C++20. C++ is a powerful but complex programming language widely used in systems software, game engines, and performance-critical applications, and its modern versions added major improvements to make the language safer and more expressive. The book is written "on the fly", meaning it is designed for quick learning, so you can pick a specific feature you need and understand it in isolation rather than reading everything from start to finish. For each feature, it explains not just what it does, but the historical reason it was added, which helps the concepts stick. Each chapter includes code examples and exercises with solutions. You would use this if you are an experienced C++ developer who learned the language before the modern era and wants to update your skills, or if you are an intermediate developer who wants to quickly get up to speed with contemporary C++ idioms (patterns and conventions). The book is available to read online, as a PDF, as an EPUB, and through a website. It exists in both English and Chinese. The tech stack is C++.

prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1

I know C++98 but haven't touched the language in 15 years. Walk me through the most important changes in C++11 and C++14 that I should know.

prompt 2

Show me how to use auto type deduction and range-based for loops in modern C++, with before-and-after examples.

prompt 3

Explain C++17's structured bindings and how they simplify unpacking tuples and pairs in real code.

prompt 4

I'm seeing lambda functions everywhere in modern C++ codebases. Give me a practical example of when and why to use them instead of function pointers.
